A ONE-WEEK VACATION ITINERARY TO
UGANDA, AFRICA SHARED  BY STEPHANIE

8 NIGHTS/6 STOPS 

Uganda, a little known  safari destination among lakes and gorillas!

After our safari trip to Namibia , we wanted to explore with our teenagers, another African country offering a different wildlife . We had time constraints, since we only had one week in June to take the trip. The best region to visit during this time frame was Eastern  Africa. Also, we wanted to got off the beaten track and explore a less mass tourism destination than Tanzania and Kenya. We decided on Uganda because it could accommodate our time requirements and, as a huge plus, it added a very special goal to the trip, since it is the perfect destination to meet gorillas! We were also attracted by the Big Lakes region and the many safaris available there : by boat, on foot and by car. Our budget for the whole trip was around $ 3150 per person for 8 nights (excluded food and activities).
