Kampala Adventure Guide: Rafting + Safari + Gorilla Trekking Just Drop

✈️ Trip Summary (Fresh off the plane from Beijing!) 🌊 Day 1: Jinja Whitewater Rafting Cost: $140 (all operators similar, paid on-site). Pro tip: Book via email—we got shifted to White Nile Rafting last-minute (still epic!). Verdict: MUST-DO! Wild rapids, lush scenery—pure adrenaline. 🦁 Day 2-3: Queen Elizabeth NP Safari lowlights: 8hr brutal drive (avg. 50km/h 🤯). Game drives: Tiny lions (meh), but Bush Lodge stole our hearts: Sleep to hippo grunts 🦛. Outdoor showers under the moon 🌙. Elephants/buffalo drinking at your doorstep! Kazinga Channel Boat Cruise (HIGHLIGHT!): 2hrs for $20—closer to hippos/elephants than Kenya’s Naivasha. “After this, Kenya’s safaris felt boring.” 🦍 Day 5: Bwindi Gorilla Trekking 1.5hr hike → mountain gorillas chilling in trees (hard to photograph but magical). Skip Day 4: Crater track = zero animals + awful roads. 💡 Pro Tips Top 3 Experiences: Jinja rafting (unique to Uganda!). Gorilla trekking (bucket-list moment). Kazinga boat cruise (hippos galore!). Skip QENP’s safari if short on time—Kenya does it better. Pre-flight relaxation: Dip toes in Lake Victoria near Entebbe Airport. Spot shoebills at Mabamba Swamp (15min from EBB). Uganda vs. Kenya: Uganda: Fewer crowds, raw beauty, gorillas. Kenya: Better roads, fancier lodges. Final Thought: For gorillas, rafting, and hippo-packed boat rides, Uganda’s untamed charm wins. 🏆 #EastAfricaSafari #GorillaTrekking #WhitewaterRafting #OffTheBeatenPath
