14 Days Kenya-Uganda Itinerary Self-Drive Road Trip

A typical Kenya and Uganda itinerary focuses on wildlife, starting with the “Big Five” and Great Migration in Kenya’s Masai Mara before moving to Uganda for unique primate encounters, such as mountain gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and chimpanzee tracking in Kibale Forest. You can connect the countries by flying into Nairobi (Kenya) or Entebbe (Uganda) and taking internal flights or organised road transfers between destinations. Road travel is possible but can be lengthy.
