Uganda is a fantastic country to travel to, but how do I manage to see all highlights in two weeks in this place? I will give you a perfect itinerary  to explore the west and south side of Uganda. I did not visit the north and east, but I did discover the most popular locations. The best itinerary to discover the most important highlights is just below, so do not hesitate to check out this page and discover a great route! Note that this route can also be done in reverse, but I recommend going against the clock.

The itinerary

Day 1: Arival

Almost everyone will arrive at the Entebbe Airport close to the capital Kampala. I will recommend going to a close accommodation in Entebbe, so you can relax for a bit. Feel excited visiting Uganda and have an early sleep in as tomorrow it will al start!

Day 2: Entebbe - Ziwa - Murchison Falls

Today you will drive to Murchison Falls National Park, which will take about 7 hours. On the way there (after four hours drive) you will stop at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, where rhinos are kept in a semi wild environment. You will visit some rhinos for about two hours including lunch and afterwards you will drive towards Murchison Falls National Park, where you will visit the Top of the Falls, to see the mighty falls. On the way you can already find some nice wildlife.

Day 3: Murchison Falls

On this day you can explore the great Murchison Falls National Park. Start your day with a lovely game drive through the national park with a packed breakfast, so you can go further in the park, looking for leopards, antelopes, buffaloes, lions, giraffes, and way more. After lunch in the accommodation, you can go to the Nile river to have a boat cruise towards the falls, but on the way there you can find many hippos, crocodiles, births, monitor lizards and more! After the boat cruise you can do a small game drive and head back to your accommodation. 

Day 4: Murchison Falls - Kibale Forest

Today is not the most interesting day of the trip as you are mostly driving (for about 7 hours), although that can also be fun. Have lunch in Fort Portal and afterwards have some relaxed time in your accommodation in Kibale Forest.

Day 5: Chimp tracking, Bigodi Swamp

Wake up early to get to to the chimp tracking, which is one of the best experiences in Uganda. After the briefing you will be hiking through the forest to enjoy the tracking. After the tracking head back to your accommodation for lunch. After lunch, try to find monkeys and birds in the Bigodi Swamp, where you will walk for about 2 hours. Afterwards, have some community experiences to see the making of coffee, the making of gin from bananas and a female craft making community. Head to the accommodation for dinner and overnight. 

Day 6: Kibale Forest - Queen Elizabeth (Kasenyi)

Today drive to Queen Elizabeth National Park in three hours. On the way there you can make a stop at the crossing of the Equator. Have a small game drive in the park to find elephants, buffaloes, and more and head for lunch. After lunch, head into the park to even find more wildlife. We found lions, a leopard, antelopes, buffaloes, elephants, and way more.

Day 7: Queen Elizabeth (Kasenyi and Mweya)

Wake up early to find some nocturnal animals like hyenas and afterwards the diurnal wildlife. After exploring the Kasenyi sector, drive to Mweya, where you can find a lake with flamingoes (October to January) and salt pans. Afterwards have a game drive in the Mweya sector to find warthogs, elephants, and waterbucks, before having lunch. After lunch, experience a fantastic boat tour on the Kazinga Channel, where you can find the highest population of hippos in the world. Besides, you can find many birds, crocodiles, buffaloes, nile monitors, and more, which is a fantastic experience. Drive back with a game drive en route through the Kasenyi Sector before dinner and overnight in the accommodation.
