Chimpanzees, crater lakes, forest, wetlands and the western gateway. Permit timing controls the order of the route.
04Queen Elizabeth & Rwenzori
Kazinga Channel, savanna, Ishasha, crater landscapes and serious mountain trekking. Safari and alpine travel require different preparation.
05Bwindi, Mgahinga & the south-west
Mountain gorillas, golden monkeys, volcanoes, Lake Bunyonyi and Lake Mburo. The exact trekking sector must match the lodge and transfer plan.
06Kidepo, Karamoja, Mount Elgon & the islands
