Sample itinerary
Uganda to Kenya
Forests, then the Mara
A starting outline — we reshape nights, permits, and pace into a private proposal.
Gorillas and chimps, then open plains — a two-country journey with a clear change of light.
- Pace Private, tailor-made
- Guiding Exceptional local guides
- Vehicles Yours — not a seat on a shared loop
- Stays Selected, never “our lodges”
Forests, then the Mara: gorillas and chimpanzees in Uganda, then open plains in Kenya. The point is the change of light — canopy to grassland — in one private journey with a connection we protect, not a stressful airport day.
Uganda is home. We begin there, walk the forests properly, then hop to Nairobi and the conservancy. Ten days is the honest length. Shorter versions drop Kibale or a Mara night; we will not drop rest.
Two countries, one team
Guiding, vehicles, and selected stays on both sides. Tell us whether the Mara should be migration-minded or a quieter conservancy chapter, and whether photography or a first safari should set the pace in Kenya.
International arrivals can start in either country. We write the proposal around your actual flights.
Day by day
Open any day for the rhythm, lodging, and meals. We adjust transfers and rest nights when we write your proposal.

Rest after the long flight. We do not put you on the southwest road until you can enjoy it.

Practical information
This journey can be shortened, extended, or combined with another country. Gorilla permits, conservancy fees, and crater rules change; we confirm the current picture in your proposal before you pay a deposit.
Tell us about fitness, children, photography, and whether you want more forest or more plains. We would rather adjust the outline than surprise you on the ground.
