In this week’s episode of the Travel Squad Podcast, join us for an unforgettable journey through Uganda on a guided tour with Gate 1 Travel! This episode is packed with adventure as we recount our incredible experiences trekking with gorillas and chimpanzees, taking safaris through national parks spotting lions, leopards, elephants, giraffes, buffalos and more; all while soaking in the diverse landscapes of this beautiful country. From the powerful Murchison Falls, beautiful Queen Elizabeth National Park, and the lush forests of Kibale & Bwindi, we cover it all. If you've ever dreamed of visiting Africa, this episode will inspire you to take the plunge and book that ticket!

Highlights of Uganda Include:

• Murchison Falls National Park Safaris
• Nile River Cruise in Murchison Falls National Park
• Kibale National Park Chimpanzee Trekking
• Queen Elizabeth National Park Safaris
• Kazinga Channel River Cruise/Safari
• Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park Gorilla Trekking

We were on a guided tour and had our hotels pre-selected by our tour company. We loved all of our accommodations and would absolutely stay at these places again if we went back to Uganda on our own. We stayed at:

• ⁠Twiga Safari Lodge⁠ in Murchison Falls National Park
• ⁠Primate Lodge⁠ in Kibale National Park
• ⁠Elephant Plains Lodge⁠ in Queen Elizabeth National Park
• ⁠Rushaga Gorilla Lodge⁠ in Bwindi National Park

But, to make it easier to find your preferred accommodations if you are traveling independently and want alternative hotels than the ones we stayed at above, you can search for hotels in Uganda⁠here⁠.
