    A Professional Private Field Guide will travel with you throughout the trip, offering tips to help you get the most out of every wildlife encounter. Track chimps through the canopy of Kibale Forest. Cruise silently along the Kazinga Channel, where elephants line the banks and hippos rule the water.

    At the dusk of the safari, you will walk the wild side of life in the all unique Lake Mburo National Park before returning to Entebbe.

    With just six guests per customized 4×4 vehicle, everyone has a window seat and space for gear, making it easier to capture the shots you’re after. This journey is about slowing down, observing more deeply, and returning home with powerful images and unforgettable memories.
