In brief
What this safari is
Murchison Falls National Park opens the loop with the Nile gorge, savanna game driving, and a boat cruise, then Queen Elizabeth National Park adds rift-valley scenery, a morning game drive, and a channel launch from The Bush Lodge (Banda).
Before you go
Mountain gorilla trekking uses steep, muddy forest trails that can last several hours; you should be comfortable walking on uneven ground and carrying water. Game drives are mostly seated and boat cruises are gentle.
