15 Days Ultimate Kenya & Uganda Safari Experience
Overview
This 15-day Kenya and Uganda expedition is a premium cross-border safari designed to deliver the most complete East African wildlife experience in a single continuous journey. It connects Kenya’s iconic Rift Valley lakes and Maasai Mara plains with Uganda’s primate forests, savannah parks, crater lakes, and highland landscapes before concluding at the serene Lake Bunyonyi.
The itinerary is carefully paced to allow smooth transitions between ecosystems, starting with Kenya’s Big Five safari circuits, moving through scenic lakes and valleys, then into Uganda’s chimpanzee forests, savannah wetlands, and finally the mist-covered gorilla highlands. It ends with a relaxing lakeside retreat that balances the intensity of the safari.
