Two weeks. It is the average length of a stay in Uganda that allows you to enjoy the country's great attractions by taking the time to rest between the different stages. The classic loop, to be completed in either direction depending on the date of his gorilla licence, consists of leaving Kampala for Kabale and then Bwindi (or even Kisoro to enter Rwanda and see the gorillas in Volcanoes National Park - if everything is complete in Uganda), before slowly heading back up to Queen Elizabeth Park. From there, trekkers can start climbing the Rwenzori Mountains, others will head for Fort Portal and Kibale, then Murchinson Falls. Here again, the agencies offer this type of package, or can draw you a tailor-made itinerary. For low-budget travellers, the Ssese and Jinja islands, where rafting is practiced, Lake Bunyonyi or the lakes of the Fort Portal region are accessible by public transport and offer great opportunities to meet local people. You can also enjoy a three-day safari in Murchinson Falls Park with one of Kampala's backpacker hostels. Three weeks and more. Apart from the major points of interest described above, Uganda really deserves a thorough visit. With more time, you can complete the two-week loop by staying on the way to enjoy all the walks and side activities. You can consider this same loop using local transport, discover Kampala, rest on the Ssese Islands, climb one of the Rwenzori Mountains and discover nearby Semliki Park with its hot springs and many birds. You can also visit less frequented areas and explore the arid eastern plains, Mount Elgon National Park or the superb Kidepo Park, a true wildlife paradise that can be reached after a long drive or by air. And above all, take the time to meet an endearing population and understand all its cultural richness.
