Twelve days covers the classic Uganda circuit with genuine breathing room — two nights in most parks rather than the tightly-paced one-night stays a 7 or 8-day trip requires.
Trip Highlights
Unhurried Pacing
Two full days in each major park rather than a single rushed activity day.
The Complete Big Four
Gorillas, chimpanzees, Big Five game viewing, and the Nile, all covered properly.
