Hi Serge

You didn’t mention whether you’re planning to do the trip self-drive or with a driver. My Uganda trip is a bit dated (2018), so others might have more up-to-date info for you.

Overall, the route looks logical, but I notice you’re switching accommodations a lot (wanting to try different lodges?). For example, why go to Tembo Camp all the way north in MFNP—especially since you’re coming from Ziwa—only to head back to Red Chili afterward? They’re not that far apart, and safaris mostly take place between the two. Same for QENP: personally, I’d stay two nights in the same place. I’d also suggest two nights at Bunyoni and just one at Mburo, but it really depends on what you’re looking for (Bunyoni is beautiful and relaxing, but Mburo has more activities).

Happy planning! 😉

Thanks so much, Muriel. We’re doing the circuit with a driver. I’ll take another look at the lodges. Have a great day.
