Chimpanzees walking on two legs, wild dogs hunting down waterbucks, lions basking on the desert savannah; Uganda may be famous for gorillas, but its mystical array of national parks celebrate the unique and exotic of an African safari. This 2-week adventure connects the country’s hidden destinations, from Kidepo Valley in the northeast to the Semuliki rainforest and a deserted island in Lake Victoria, without forgetting an evocative gorilla trek in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest.

Zicasso's travel agent couldn’t have planned our trip better. He really listened to what we were most interested in and planned it accordingly. He used his personal knowledge of the lodges and areas to ensure we got the experience we were looking for. He also made arrangements to make the logistics of travel go incredibly smoothly.

We traveled with the help of Zicasso's tour specialist. She was available for us throughout and prepared us very well on what to expect. Our accommodations, our guides, and our cultural experiences were all excellent! She even had a surprise birthday dinner set up for me on our last night there. For us, this was the trip of a lifetime and we would highly recommend her!
