The popular southwestern travel region and the west are usually identified as the western safari circuit for their simplicity to connect a single Ugandan trip between the attractions. A western safari circuit drives down from Kibale Forest, down to Queen Elizabeth, and south of QENP to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.
It’s a long haul from Bwindi back to Kampala/Entebbe, and many tour operators now offer their clients an overnight break at the lovely, if slightly low-key, Lake Mburo National Park.
It is possible to cover this Africa safari itinerary in seven days (ten days itinerary would be better), and many people do. However, those with time and flexibility to delay and detour will discover many more places to visit and go hiking and explore the country. Days can be spent exploring the Fort Portal and Rwenzori area, while Lake Bunyonyi and the Virunga volcanoes are worthwhile diversions near Bwindi Impenetrable Forest.
