7 days Uganda Midrange Primate and Wildlife Safari

As parents of teenagers aged 15 and 17, this 7-day mid-range safari in Uganda with Salt Holidays was perfect for us. We started in Kibale tracking habituated chimpanzees- the kids were thrilled watching them. Bwindi gorilla trek was the emotional peak, the hike built anticipation, then sitting with a habituated group was humbling-silverback staring right at us. Queen Elizabeth National Park brought the Big 4 action: lions on the prowl, elephant herds, leopards in trees, plus a boat cruise on the channel full of hipo and beautiful birds. Lake Mburo provided a relaxing ending-it was really exciting to see the animals on foot with a healthy guided walking safari free from truck emissions. Our guide was very knowledgeable and patient. We walk to learn about footprints by our professional guide and a beautiful sunset. The mid-range accommodations were quite comfortable: clean family rooms, fresh breakfast, and the staff took great care of us. Overall Salt Holidays was very responsible and their hospitality made our journey memorable.

We had the opportunity to go on a 7-day safari in Uganda, where we went primate tracking and saw savannah wildlife, and it was our best experience. Our 7 day journey made by Salt Holidays maintenance team. Their perfect guidelines and helpful guide made our journey easy, safe and memorable. We started at Kibale National Park, chimpanzee tracking required patience. Our ranger explained their behavior in detail, which made the encounter educational rather than just exciting. Then Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, the gorilla trek was the emotional center of our trip. Seeing a mother gorilla groom her infant only a short distance away was unforgettable. Queen Elizabeth National Park provided classic safari game drives, where we observed elephants crossing dusty tracks and buffalo resting in groups. Our lodge was awesome and the staff were hospitable. Lake Mburo National Park offered a quieter finish, with zebras grazing near our lodge. Undoubtedly it was the best adventure time with my family.

Our family of four (kids 11 and 14) finished our this 7-day Uganda midrange primate and wildlife safari with Salt Holidays. It was our best vacation to spend time with my family. The chimpanzee tracking at Kibale was lively - the kids loved chasing the pack through the forest and seeing the mothers with their babies. The gorilla experience at Bwindi was intense but rewarding, the one hour viewing experience flew by as we watched them feed and play. Bwindi gorilla trekking tested our legs but delivered, being that near a family group felt really special. Queen Elizabeth National Park was the action-packed part, lions, elephants, buffaloes on game drives, and a boat cruise where we saw tons of hippos and birds. Our guide was amazing, very professional and patient with the children's endless questions and always finding the best views. Lake Mburo was a relaxing end-zebras roaming, walking safari learning tracks, and birdwatching. We were very satisfied with Salt Holidays. And we got a authentic experience. We would like to recommend this safari trip.

Our journey through western Uganda was truly unforgettable. Guided by the exceptionally skilled and warm-hearted Joseph, we explored the region’s diverse wonders over the course of a week. From tracking chimpanzees in the north, to an exhilarating boat adventure in the central region, to encountering majestic mountain gorillas in the south—every moment exceeded our expectations. Joseph brought the landscapes to life, facilitated awe-inspiring encounters with wildlife, and introduced us to the warm, welcoming Ugandan people, whose radiant smiles left a lasting impression. Thank you, Joseph, for an extraordinary experience. We can’t wait to return! Bob
