This is one of our best safaris, for honeymooners or other travellers wishing to enjoy the comforts and luxuries of a honeymoon type of holiday. This tour combines game, birds, gorillas with the comforts of relaxing in pristine environment on a beach on Lake Victoria at the end of the tour. Visit 4 of Uganda’s 10 National Parks: Murchison Falls, Kibale, Queen Elizabeth, and Bwindi are in the Western arm of the Great East African Rift Valley!
Your trip starts with Murchison Falls Conservation Area, the largest in the country, with chimps, birds, crocodile, and game. Visit the dramatic Falls from which the park derives its name. Drive westwards to Lake Albert, for unusual game and wildlife before proceeding to Kibale Forest, home to thirteen species of primates, the highest in tropical Africa. Animal species such as red, black and white colobus, blue monkeys and baboons and a large number of chimpanzees can be seen. Continue to Queen Elizabeth National Park, passing the foothills of the Rwenzori Mountains: a half day walk into the mountains is possible. The launch trip along the Kazinga Channel in QE is especially good for viewing hippo, buffalo, elephant and a large host of birds.
The beautiful steeply forested Kyambura Gorge nearby, is home not only to chimpanzees but also the red-tailed monkey, black and white colobus and many bird species. Around Ishasha go on the hunt for the famous tree-climbing lions which lounge nonchalantly on old fig trees. Further south in Bwindi go gorilla tracking and see other primates, birds and butterflies. Have an opportunity to track gorillas again or climb a volcano, go birding or take in the breathtaking landscape. Your trip ends with Ssese Islands in Lake Victoria, to relax and unwind after the eventful African safari.

Uganda's history is marked by pre-colonial kingdoms, British colonial rule, and post-independence challenges. The country's borders were drawn arbitrarily in the late 19th century, encompassing diverse societies. In 1894, Uganda became a British protectorate, and it gained independence on October 9, 1962. Following independence, Uganda faced a period of political instability, including civil wars and military coups.Pre-Colonial Period:
- Uganda's early history is characterized by the movement of various groups of cultivators and herders, leading to diverse languages and cultures.
- The region was home to a variety of centralized kingdoms, including Buganda, Bunyoro, and others, as well as more decentralized Nilotic and Sudanic peoples.
- Evidence of human activity in Uganda dates back to at least 50,000 years ago, with Acheulean tools found along the Kagera River valley.
British Colonial Period (1894-1962):- In 1894, Uganda was declared a British protectorate.
- The British administration extended control beyond Buganda by signing treaties with other kingdoms like Toro, Ankole, and Bunyoro.
- Uganda was never fully colonized; instead, it developed a system of internal self-government through a Legislative and Executive Council.
- The British influence was strong in the late 19th century, particularly with the arrival of missionaries from the British Missionary Society and the French Roman Catholic White Fathers.
Independence and Post-Colonial Period (1962-Present):- Uganda gained independence on October 9, 1962, with Milton Obote as the first Prime Minister.
- The newly independent nation faced challenges, including civil wars and political instability, leading to a period of military coups and dictatorships.
- In 1995, a new constitution was adopted, establishing a non-party all-inclusive Movement System of government.
- In 2005, a referendum was held, resulting in a return to multi-party politics.
- Uganda has since made significant strides in restoring peace and rebuilding infrastructure, while also engaging in peacekeeping operations through the Uganda People's Defence Force.
Key Events and Figures:- Milton Obote: The first Prime Minister of Uganda, who played a key role in the independence movement and later served as President.
- Idi Amin: A military leader who seized power in 1971 and ruled Uganda for eight years, a period marked by human rights abuses and political instability.
- Yoweri Museveni: The current President of Uganda, who has been in power since 1986.
- Uganda's early history is characterized by the movement of various groups of cultivators and herders, leading to diverse languages and cultures.
