12-Day Uganda Safari Holidays

A holiday-length Uganda circuit that reaches further than our shorter itineraries: from the Nile at Murchison Falls to the remote plains of Kidepo Valley in the far northeast, before looping south to Queen Elizabeth and Bwindi.

Best suited to travelers with two weeks to spare who want to see Uganda's north and south in one trip, not just the classic southwest circuit.
