This 3-day luxury Uganda safari is designed for travelers who want a short, comfortable, and time-saving wildlife experience from Entebbe. Instead of taking the long first-day road transfer, guests fly from Entebbe to Pakuba Airstrip in the Murchison Falls region, allowing more time to relax and enjoy the safari.
With Imara Africa Safaris, your 3-day luxury Uganda safari begins with a warm welcome in Entebbe and assistance for your domestic flight to Pakuba Airstrip. Enjoy scenic aerial views of Uganda before landing near Murchison Falls National Park. Upon arrival, your professional safari guide will meet you and transfer you in a luxury 4x4 safari vehicle to your lodge. After check-in, unwind in elegant surroundings and prepare for the next day’s adventure.
On Day 2, enjoy an exclusive morning game drive in Murchison Falls National Park. With your guide, search for lions, elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, leopards, antelopes, warthogs, and many bird species. Wildlife sightings depend on natural movement, but the park offers excellent safari opportunities and beautiful savannah landscapes.
After lunch, embark on a premium boat safari along the Nile River, cruising toward the base of the powerful Murchison Falls. Along the river, you may see hippos, Nile crocodiles, water birds, and animals gathering near the banks.
On the final day, depart by road to Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary for guided rhino tracking on foot with trained guides. This special conservation experience gives you a rare opportunity to observe Uganda’s rhinos before continuing comfortably back to Entebbe for your onward flight.
This 3-day luxury Uganda safari is ideal for couples, families, luxury travelers, wildlife lovers, private groups, and travel agents seeking a smooth fly-in safari with wildlife, scenery, comfort, and conservation. It suits guests who prefer private guiding, luxury lodge stays, scenic flights, flexible pacing, and fewer road hours at the start.

A honeymoon of our dreams, Kenya you’ve blown us away. The wildlife, scenery, food and people are all as amazing as each other. A big thank you to Imara africa safaris and Simon our guide for such an exceptional week long adventure around this beautiful county. The highlight for us was the sunrise hot air balloon ride across the Masai Mara- WOW. 🫶

More Than a Safari – An Unforgettable Honeymoon Our Kenya Safari with Imara Africa Safaris 11th–20th September 2026. We couldn’t recommend Imara Africa Safaris enough. From the moment we first spoke to Wendy, the owner, we knew we’d found the right company for our honeymoon. We had previously received quotes from UK travel companies, but they didn’t seem to understand the itinerary we wanted and the prices were ridiculously high. I then found Imara through Tripadvisor and SafariBookings. Wendy completely understood what we wanted from the start and, after so many WhatsApp conversations, genuinely became more of a friend than just the person organising our trip. Wendy created our perfect itinerary: 2 nights at The Glee Hotel in Nairobi, 3 nights at Soroi Samburu Lodge and 4 nights at Neptune Mara Rianta Luxury Tented Camp in the Maasai Mara. She organised all our accommodation, bush flights, transfers and activities, and everything ran seamlessly. She even arranged a VIP chauffeur at Nairobi Airport at customs to take us through arrivals seamlessly and personally met us when we arrived. The following day, Wendy came to see us again with her husband to introduce us properly to our guide, Simon. They also brought us some beautiful gifts and keepsakes to take home, which was such a thoughtful personal touch and something we’ll be able to keep forever. Simon was fantastic throughout the safari. We had our own private Toyota Land Cruiser and his knowledge of the wildlife was incredible. We saw elephants, cheetahs, Grevy’s zebras, Nile crocodiles, huge numbers of wildebeest and some unforgettable lion sightings, including a lion dragging a kill and lion cubs with their mum. Simon also collected our larger suitcases the day before we flew by bush plane and drove them ahead to our next camp. With the luggage restrictions on the bush flights, this was a massive help, especially as we were travelling for three weeks. We could simply pack an overnight bag and take that with us. Wendy also arranged our hot air balloon safari, bush breakfast, picnic lunches and private sundowners. One was a complete surprise, with Kenyan snacks and drinks while we watched the sunset. Our safari vehicle was also stocked with soft drinks and beers - all the little details were so thoughtful. Everything ran perfectly from 11th–20th September. We never had to worry about the logistics and could simply enjoy the experience. A huge thank you to Wendy, Simon and the whole Imara team for giving us such an incredible honeymoon. The service was genuinely 5-star, and we’re already talking about when we can return to Kenya and explore more of Africa. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Imara to anyone planning a safari.

Trip was fantastic and memorable, whole crew very supportive

Thank you for a great safari experience! The organisation process was excellent and professional. Vehicle safari is our huge recommendation. It’s an opportunity to see all the local animals and to hear their stories from the driver! Massai Mara and Nakuru are the top parks here. P. S. The only note is that walking safari doesn’t make any sense when you’re living in the hotel with the animals walking through the territory freely.

The safari fulfilled every safari dream. We loved our guide and driver. We cannot praise IMARA Africa Safari enough!! We highly recommend this wonderful safari to everyone
Jeff Bauer/September 2026
We had a blast and were well taken care of. Multiple days and locations with the great Patrick of Imara Safari Tours!
Craig McClelland/September 2026
We had a fantastic safari with Imara. Right from the start the team was easy and straight-forward to deal with. Our guide/driver was excellent (thanks so much Tony!), managed to find every animal on our wishlist, and made sure we enjoyed the whole trip. We were a group of 3 and did a private safari. This gave us a lot more flexibility about where to go, which animals to search for etc, and our guide (Tony) was always adjusting the plan make sure we had the best experience. Covering our 'spotting wishlist' was fantastic, but Tony was always working to ensure we got better views and up-close experience with our favourites. That made all the difference to how much we enjoyed the safari. I'd definitely recommend Imara, and we would happily book our next safari through them.

This trip is really one for the books! We started planning for a Safari Tour a year ago so that we will have an ample time to look for a good itinerary and tour provider that will our needs. We have inquired to several local travel agencies from our country, the Philippines and as well as thru online to Kenyan agencies. Most Kenyan agencies either disregarded our inquiries, too presistent that we book instantly or presented unreasonably priced agencies. We came across IMARA AFRICA SAFARIES thru Instagram and Wendy was very accommodating to our request. She patiently presented to us different options for our safari tours. And most welcomingly answered our never ending queries. She also gave us tips as to securing our travel documents down to our safari outfits. From then on, we knew IMARA is the right choice for us. So here we go! We booked and we eagerly anticipated for our much awaited safari experience! But I guess as the time came and no matter how prepared you were, there were some bumps along the way such as flight delays and missing our connecting flights. Yet, it never deterred our excitement. Good thing, Wendy was always in contact since day 1. And she was flexible as always readjusting our itinerary. We were met and greeted by the whole staff and even gave us souvenirs already. We met Wendy in person and of course Lewis who eagerly explained our itinerary. We also gotten to know Simon, our guide/driver in Kenya. He was very enthusiastic in touring us to different national parks in Kenya and made us witness the amazing wildlife it has to offer. We even driven into the deep areas of Maasai Mara just to find a whole pride of 20 lions! Next stop was Tanzania and there we met Dallas, our guide and driver and Mr Plan B guy. Without him, we could have never witnessed the Great Migration and completed the Big 5 of Africa. All in all, our safari experience was more than what we expected and way too amazing! It was way too difficult to part ways with our two big guides who made this experience memorable! Thank you Imara Africa Safaries! We would definitely recommend you to everyone for their safari experience! Five stars!!!

Exceptional people, fantastic service, the best. Don't book anywhere else. Edward, our guide and driver was the best. I will request him again at the next adventure. Edward, you are the best!
