Day 9 – Kibale Birding
Dedicate more time to forest targets rather than rushing onward.
Day 10 – Kibale to Queen Elizabeth
Travel into the Rift Valley and begin savannah birding.
Day 11 – Queen Elizabeth & Kazinga Channel
Explore multiple habitats and take the boat along the Kazinga Channel.
Day 12 – Queen Elizabeth to Bwindi
Travel towards Bwindi with birding stops en route.
Day 13 – Bwindi Birding
Dedicate the day to one of Uganda’s most important Albertine Rift birding landscapes.
For specialist birders, the exact sector and trails should be selected according to priority species, local conditions and guide advice.
Day 14 – Bwindi / Lake Mburo / Entebbe Arrangements
Complete the journey according to flight timing.
For serious international birders, we may recommend extending this itinerary beyond 14 days to avoid sacrificing productive birding time to the final road transfer.
