Northern Uganda's big landscapes: track white rhinos on foot at Ziwa Sanctuary, game-drive the Nile's northern bank among elephants, giraffes and lions, and boat to the base of Murchison Falls where the world's longest river explodes through a six-metre gorge.

Safari expert's note

The Nile delta boat trip is the best shoebill opportunity in East Africa — ask us to add it.
