This two week adventure takes you through the magnificent lakes and wildlife parks of Kenya, across Uganda and the Equator, and up into the jungle for some trekking to visit the mountain gorillas and chimpanzees.
Starting in Nairobi we first head out to the famous Masai Mara game reserve where we’ll have several included game drives to view the wildlife in one of Africa's most iconic game reserves. We then head north, stopping for more game viewing at Lake Nakuru, before crossing the border into Uganda where our next stop is Jinja, famous as the point where the River Nile flows out of Lake Victoria. There are optional Nile cruises and great white water rafting available here.
Next we head north towards the Murchison National Park, home of the spectacular Murchison Falls. We'll enjoy another included game drive here, through one of Uganda's best National Parks. Then we take another jungle trek, this time through the Budongo Central Forest Reserve in search of the local chimpanzees. We follow this adventure with a visit to the mountains, stopping at the beautiful Lake Bunyoni which we use as our base for our gorilla trek deep into the Bwindi Impenetrable forest. This experience is a once in a life time opportunity to get up close and personal with man's closest relative.
An optional rhino trekking experience is then available as we head back towards Kenya through the Great Rift Valley and Eldoret, before we arrive back in Nairobi to finish the tour.
The tour is available either based mainly on camping in traditional 2-person tents (which we provide together with camp beds), or as an upgraded 'accommodated' version where you sleep in lodges, hotels, or permanent camps (with proper beds & facilities). Details of each night's stay are given in the Facilities section of the daily itinerary. Pricing shown is based on camping - please contact us for prices to upgrade to the accommodated level.

Uganda is one of Africa’s most underrated safari destinations. We’re here to change that – by bike! This 10-day tour combines some of Uganda’s most magical wildlife encounters – including the unforgettable experience of gorilla trekking – with moderate-level cycling through highlands, savannahs, and rainforests. By day, we go off the beaten path for a deep dive into East African wilderness and local lifeways, and by night, we unwind in some of Uganda's cosiest lodges.
We meet in Entebbe, the international gateway to Uganda, and drive north to Fort Portal, where we begin cycling on red dirt trails through a landscape of tea plantations and stunning crater lakes. We then enter Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda’s prime safari destination, for a game drive and wetland boat cruise, with the chance to spot herds of elephants, tree-climbing lions, and wallowing hippos. Next, we cycle directly through the park’s savannah before transitioning into the green, rolling hills of southwestern Uganda. At Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, we take a break from cycling to trek into the thick, misty rainforest in search of mountain gorillas in their natural habitat. We then cycle out of the reserve and into a world of terraced agricultural fields, making our way to the serene, island-dotted Lake Bunyonyi. From here, we transfer north for a final safari by bike in Lake Mburo National Park – where zebras, giraffes, buffalo, and impalas roam the plains – before concluding the tour back in Entebbe.
Join us on this enchanting ride into the wilds of Uganda!
