    Trek Gorillas in Bwindi and explore Queen Elizabeth with game drives, boat safari and chimpanzee trekking in Kyambura.

    This 6-day Uganda safari offers an immersive primate-tracking adventure in two of the country’s most remarkable destinations—Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Queen Elizabeth National Park. Track endangered mountain gorillas in Bwindi’s misty rainforest and trek chimpanzees through the jungle gorge of Kyambura or the Kalinzu Forest. Along the way, marvel at wildlife-rich savannah plains, enjoy game drives through tree-climbing lion territory, and cruise the hippo-filled Kazinga Channel.

    This trip is perfect for travelers with limited time who want to experience Uganda’s primates, Big Game, and iconic landscapes in a compact yet rewarding journey. It begins and ends in Entebbe and includes all ground transport, permits, and a professional guide throughout.

    Why Travelers Trust Us

    Our guests don’t just come for the wildlife. They come for something more—the rare combination of uncompromising comfort, authentic connection, and purpose-driven travel that defines every Activenture journey.

    If someone had told me that it was possible to go on an African Safari for the first time and it would be a completely stress-free, relaxing, safe and first-rate vacation all the way through, I wouldn’t have believed that was possible. But then I found Diana and her team. All the way through, my wife and I were very impressed with the detail of the planning and the quality of the lodging, guides and drivers. We feel very lucky that we found Diana’s team and we’re grateful for all they did to make our trip one that we will always treasure. We did the 6 days gorilla and tree-climbing lions package.

    Diana was very helpful in setting up my Gorilla Tracking excursion to Bwindi. She did all of the leg work so that all we had to do was enjoy the trip.
    Robert, our driver, was courteous and professional and provided invaluable assistance during the trip.
    I would highly recommend Diana and her Team to anyone considering a trip to Uganda.


    Steve — USA
    tripadvisor safari reviews

    We had an amazing family holiday in Uganda, with thanks to Diana and our guide. We visited Murchison Falls, Queen Elizabeth National Park and finally the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest to see the Mountain Gorillas. The team went above and beyond to make sure we had a memorable trip and ensured our safety at all times. Would highly recommend using Diana & her team for your trip.

    “What made it unforgettable? The people. The places. The purpose. You’re not just a visitor—you become part of something bigger. I came for the wildlife and left feeling connected to the continent.”


    Alex G. — Cape Town
    tripadvisor safari reviews

    “We’ve traveled extensively, but nothing felt as genuine and personal as this. Our guide had grown up near the park—we weren’t just seeing animals; we were understanding them. And the people.”


    Raj & Mira S. — London
    tripadvisor safari reviews

    “There were moments I forgot I was on a guided trip—it felt more like being hosted by a friend who knew every secret path, every story. I’ll never forget sitting under the stars in Bwindi after our gorilla trek. Life-changing.”


    Hannah L. — California
    tripadvisor safari reviews

    I joined the 20-day birding tour across Uganda and Rwanda—what a paradise. Over 500 species, expert guides, and moments of pure stillness in forests I’d only dreamed of. Spotting the shoebill in Mabamba, just wow!!!. Activentures really knows how to slow you down and tune you in.


    Ingrid Meyer — Hamburg, Germany
    tripadvisor safari reviews

    Our family safari in Rwanda felt intimate and empowering. We trekked golden monkeys in Volcanoes National Park, then immersed ourselves in learning basket weaving from a local women’s cooperative. Wow! It was real, raw, and restorative. Activentures made it feel safe, seamless, and deeply human.


    Atlanta, USA — Darnell Reed
    tripadvisor safari reviews

    Climbing Mt. Kenya with Activentures was wild in the best way. Altitude, silence, the grit, the moments where I thought, ‘I can’t do this,’ and then somehow did. Our guides were incredible—serious when it mattered, but full of stories and laughter too. Summit day nearly broke me, but standing up there, above the clouds, was the most alive I’ve ever felt.
