The 10 Days Uganda Family Safari Collection is planned around one practical fact: Uganda's gorilla trekking age limit is 15, so a genuine family itinerary needs a structure that works for parents and children travelling together, not a standard circuit with a kids' menu added on. This itinerary combines Lake Mburo (Uganda's most family-friendly park, with no elephants and a limited lion population), Queen Elizabeth, and Bwindi, with alternating parent treks built in.

A walking and horseback safari at Mihingo Lodge — genuinely safe activities for families, since the park has no elephants and only a limited lion presence. See our Lake Mburo guide.
Queen Elizabeth National Park
Kazinga Channel boat cruise and game drives, with wide sightlines that work well for younger children in the vehicle. Stay at Kyambura Gorge Lodge.
Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
Parents alternate gorilla treks on different days while the other parent and children under 15 enjoy a lodge-based programme — a Batwa cultural visit, guided nature walks, or simply lodge time. Stay at Mahogany Springs Lodge, in the Buhoma sector.

Book This ItineraryFrequently asked questions
What is Uganda's minimum age for gorilla trekking?
15 years old, set by the Uganda Wildlife Authority. This itinerary is built specifically around that rule with alternating parent treks.
What do younger children do while parents trek?
Most Bwindi lodges offer a supervised lodge-based morning, and we typically add a Batwa Community Experience or guided nature walk as an alternative activity for the accompanying parent and children.
Is Lake Mburo genuinely safer for young children than Uganda's other parks?
It's the one park where walking and horseback safaris are routinely offered, specifically because it has no elephants and only a sparse lion population — see our Lake Mburo guide for detail.
