This discounted Uganda family safari itinerary is built specifically for families — shorter game drives, a boat cruise kids love, a nature walk instead of a forest trek, and no early-morning gorilla permits (which exclude children under 15 anyway). It hits two of Uganda’s most accessible parks without long, tiring drive days.
Day-by-Day Itinerary
Day 1 — Entebbe to Lake Mburo National Park Morning departure from Entebbe/Kampala, driving southwest through Uganda’s rolling countryside. Arrive at Lake Mburo by afternoon for a relaxed evening game drive — zebra, impala, and eland are common here.
Day 2 — Lake Mburo National Park Morning boat cruise on Lake Mburo (hippos, crocodiles, and birdlife up close — a family favorite). Afternoon guided nature walk or optional horseback safari for older kids, one of the few parks in Uganda where walking safaris are safe due to the absence of large predators.
Day 3 — Lake Mburo to Queen Elizabeth National Park Scenic drive north through the Rift Valley to Queen Elizabeth National Park, arriving in time for an afternoon game drive in the Kasenyi plains — lions, elephants, buffalo, and hyena are frequently spotted.
Day 4 — Queen Elizabeth National Park Morning game drive followed by the highlight of the trip: a boat cruise on the Kazinga Channel, one of Africa’s best wildlife-viewing cruises, with massive hippo pods, elephants at the water’s edge, and abundant birdlife right along the shore.
Day 5 — Queen Elizabeth to Entebbe Morning at leisure, then transfer/flight back to Entebbe for departure.
