10-Day Uganda and Zanzibar Beach Holidays

You have been dreaming of your safari for so long and now it is

finally about to begin. You will meet your guide who will tell you

everything you need to know to get your safari started. We are

as excited as you are to get your trip underway.

One of the few African safari destinations that can be

explored by car, by boat or on guided walks, the 3,480km²

Murchison Falls National Park is dominated geographically by

the Nile River and 43m-high waterfall after which it is named.

Here you can be confident of seeing elephant, buffalo, hippo,

giraffe, waterbuck, hartebeest, oribi, Uganda kob, crocodile

and a good range of aquatic birds. With a bit of luck you

might also encounter lion, leopard, patas monkey and the

bizarre stork-like shoebill.

Kibale National Park is best known for its population of

around 1,000 chimpanzees, man and his closest genetic relative. The

park is home to a dozen other primate species, including

Uganda mangabey, a type of monkey that is unique to Uganda

and difficult to see anywhere other than Kibale. It supports a

dazzling forest birdlife, with 370 species recorded, ranging

from the outrageously colorful great blue turaco to the

secretive green-breasted pitta.

There is something about chimpanzees that makes them one

of the greatest safari prizes of all. We will take you trekking

through the forest to spend time with them and enjoy an

encounter that you will never forget.

Explore Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda's best allround safari destination. In

addition to being home to four of

the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant and buffalo), this

biodiverse park is studded with wetlands that support an

astonishing 5,000 hippos along with large flocks of flamingos,

pelicans and other aquatic birds. Weather permitting, the

views to the glacial peaks of the Rwenzori, Africa's second highest mountain (after

Kilimanjaro), are also exceptional.

Occupying a series of low hills and marshy valleys that roll

northwards from Lake Victoria, Kampala has been an

important political entity since the mid-19th-century reign of

King Suuna II of Buganda. Despite being steeped in traditional

and colonial history, Kampala today is a bustling modern

capital city situated at the heart of Uganda's road network.

Put on some warm clothes and enjoy an early morning game

drive. This is the perfect time to experience the wildlife and

the landscapes they inhabit. The light is soft and warm –

perfect for photography – and most animals are out and

about, and active. If you’re not an early riser, you’ll definitely

want to make an exception here.

Soak up the history as you explore Zanzibar Stone Town. The

museums and architecture here speak of a rich and varied

history, with influences from across East Africa and the

Indian Ocean. But you will love this place most when the smell

of spices and the Muslim call to prayer carries through the

streets.

When you arrive on Zanzibar Island, you know straightaway

that this is a place like no other. Arrival in time will give you opportunity to have the stone town tour. This was an island made

wealthy by its role in the spice trade, and the superb

architecture and spice-filled markets are reminders of that

time. Fine beaches and scenery are also found across the

island.

Spend more time getting to know Zanzibar Island.

Go snorkeling with us and enjoy discovering a whole new

world of wonder just below the ocean and surface. The marine

life you will see could just become one of the highlights of your

trip. There will be other activities like, diving, visiting the prisons Island, dolphins experience

Snorkeling, Zanzibar Island and much more

Travelers with late night flights can still have a bit more of the Zanzibar Island experience this day before they leave the Island. Your time with us on safari in Uganda is now at an end, but we

hope to have given you many fantastic memories that will live

on long after you have returned home. Travel home safely, and

we hope to see you again.
