 6-Day Tanzania & Uganda Safari Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival in Tanzania – Transfer to Serengeti National Park

Upon arrival in Tanzania, you are warmly welcomed by your professional safari guide and assisted with your scenic transfer into Serengeti National Park, one of Africa’s most celebrated wildlife destinations. Depending on arrival time, enjoy an introductory game drive across the vast plains, where lions, elephants, giraffes, and large herds of plains game roam freely. This first day sets the tone for your Serengeti safari tour, offering dramatic landscapes and rich wildlife sightings before settling into your carefully selected eco-friendly safari camp for dinner and overnight.

---

Day 2: Full Day Serengeti Safari Experience

Today is dedicated entirely to immersive game drives in the Serengeti. With both morning and afternoon drives, you maximize your chances of encountering the Big Five, cheetahs, leopards, and seasonal wildlife movements. Your expert guide shares in-depth knowledge about animal behavior, conservation, and the Serengeti ecosystem—an experience far richer than standard mass-market tours. A picnic lunch in the bush allows uninterrupted exploration, while golden-hour photography moments crown the day. Overnight at your Serengeti lodge or tented camp under the African stars.

---

Day 3: Fly from Serengeti to Entebbe, Uganda

After breakfast, transfer to the airstrip for your scheduled flight to Entebbe, the gateway to Uganda’s primate sanctuaries. On arrival at Entebbe International Airport, you are met by your Ugandan safari representative and transferred to your hotel near Lake Victoria. The afternoon is free to relax, recover from travel, or enjoy optional activities such as a sunset lakeside walk. This smooth fly-in connection is a key advantage over long overland routes offered by many competitors.

---

Day 4: Entebbe – Scenic Drive to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest

Following an early breakfast, begin your scenic drive southwest toward Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, passing rolling hills, tea plantations, and rural Ugandan landscapes. Stops along the way provide cultural insight and photographic opportunities, including the Equator crossing. Arriving in Bwindi, you check into your eco-lodge nestled at the forest edge. The cool rainforest air and sounds of nature signal the start of your gorilla trekking safari experience. An evening briefing prepares you for the following day’s trek.

---

Day 5: Gorilla Trekking Experience in Bwindi

Today delivers the highlight of your safari: mountain gorilla trekking. After an early breakfast, you attend a ranger briefing before venturing into Bwindi’s dense rainforest with experienced trackers. The trek can last between one to five hours, depending on gorilla movements, but the reward is extraordinary—spending a magical hour observing a habituated gorilla family in their natural habitat. This ethical, permit-controlled encounter is deeply moving and conservation-focused. After the trek, return to the lodge for relaxation and celebration.

---

Day 6: Bwindi – Return to Entebbe & Departure

After breakfast, depart Bwindi for your return journey to Entebbe. Depending on your international flight schedule, you may enjoy lunch en route or optional last-minute shopping for local crafts. Upon arrival in Entebbe, you are transferred to the airport for your onward flight home, concluding your 6 Days Tanzania Tour & Gorilla Trekking Safari with unforgettable memories of Africa’s wildlife and primates.

FAQ

This tour is focused on Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda’s most popular gorilla trekking destination with multiple trekking sectors and excellent permit options.

4) How difficult is gorilla trekking in Bwindi?

Trekking difficulty ranges from moderate to challenging depending on the gorilla family location and terrain. You’ll hike with ranger guides and trackers. A porter can be arranged to make the experience easier.

For best lodge choices and gorilla permit security, book early—especially for June–October and December–February travel windows.

6) What wildlife will we see in Serengeti?

Expect big cats (lion, cheetah, leopard), elephants, giraffes, buffalo, wildebeest, zebra, and a huge variety of birds. Sightings vary seasonally and daily—your guide adapts routes to maximize viewing.

7) Are internal flights included?

This package is typically structured with internal/regional flights to connect Serengeti → Entebbe efficiently. Exact flight routing depends on your travel dates and airline schedules.
