7 Days Queen Elizabeth and Kibale Safari

7 DAYS-6 NIGHTS QUEEN ELIZABETH NATIONAL PARK, FORT PORTAL, KIBALE NATIONAL PARK AND TOORO ROYAL PALACE

Uganda “the pearl of Africa” is a land of distinction, endowed with unmatched wildlife, serene undulating hills covered with varied flora, the savannah jungle largely inhabited by several species of antelopes and rainforest with the musical accompaniment of birdlife. Uganda is lively with these contrasts: yet silent elephants, disappearing like a vapour behind the trees, the chimpanzees crashing about the forest canopy, and the gentle giant mountain gorillas chewing thoughtfully in the bamboo thickets. Discover the distinctive wilderness when you choose to travel with limitless Tours and travel through Uganda.
