Yes. While the primary focus is ornithology, the itinerary includes extensive game drives and boat safaris where you will encounter classic African big game, including elephants, lions, buffaloes, zebras, giraffes, hippos, crocodiles, and various primate species.

The package includes guided boat trips on Lake Mburo, a cruise along the Kazinga Channel in Queen Elizabeth National Park, a boat cruise on the Victoria Nile to the base of Murchison Falls, and the Mabamba Swamp excursion.

The tour features a mix of vehicle-based game drives, relaxing boat cruises, and on-foot forest and wetland walking trails. While most walks are leisurely paced to allow for patient bird observation, trekking in Bwindi's hilly rainforest requires a moderate level of physical fitness.

International flights to and from Uganda, entry visa fees, comprehensive travel/medical insurance, tips and gratuities for guides and lodge staff, laundry services, alcoholic and soft drinks outside included meals, souvenirs, and optional activities (such as horseback safaris) are excluded.
