Uganda 20 day itinerary with public transpo

One of the sources of the nile!

Very rushed cut out Jinja from plan

You might need to book gorilla /monkey and chimp trecks in advance
set off early from Fort P if you want to get to Lake B in a day (change Mbarara, Kabale)

I agree, the place advertised as the source of the Nile at Jinja just looks like any old bit of river, nothing special - plus they were charging 10000Ush pp to go near it (in 2012).
That may not sound a lot to you now at home, but it works out at 3 or 4 big bottles of beers each......

If you stay in Kisoro you'll have to be up at the crack of dawn to get up the hill (horrible road) to Mgahinga in time for the Golden Monkey tracking. Better to stay in one of the bandas at the Community Camp which is right outside the park gates. We stayed there last year, it's a friendly place and the food is good.

Thanks for this feedback on possible itinerary. I think we'll have to skip Jinja and save more money for some beer! ;-) Thanks too for the tips about getting from Fort Portal to Lake Bunyonyi and about staying at the bandas at Community Camp the night before trekking to see the golden monkeys in Mgahinga National Park.

If you had more time in Kisoro, you could try canoe trekking at lake mutanda - an incredibly beautiful place to visit. May be instead of going back to lake bunyonyi after the gorilla trek, you could go to kisoro direct. however this would be a good option if your trek will be in the southern sector of Bwindi.

Jinja - for rafting - it's not for the timid, but a real experience and with an uncertain future, so make the most of it while it's here - went with Nalubale - a serious bunch. You'll be jetlagged, but this will shake it off - may be able to arrange transfer from airport with them, then in the afternoon to Kampala, according to flight arrival time. otherwise, to go out there just for the Speke monument...
Tackle Kampala at the end of the trip - nice enough city and worth a visit, green, with hills, only oppressive in a few central areas, not too hot.
Rather than stay in FP, you could look for accommodation in Kibale to make Chimp trekking access easier.
Likewise, consider staying night before trek as near to relevant gorilla group gate as possible - many lovely places to stay on edge of forest and no need to get up early or worry about delays.
Same goes for Mgahinga - check out accommodation in the park e.g the Amajambere Camp near the Ntebeko Gate - and enjoy the scenery, rather than being in Kisoro.
As the gorilla trek is the highlight, make sure factor in an extra day.
Depends what you're into, but it would be a shame not to do at least the boat trip on the Kazinga channel in Queen Elizabeth if you're so close - leaving out either crater lakes or Lake Mburo. Excursion is nice enough and the afternoon ride was teeming with mammals and birds: hippos, buffalo, the odd primate, big crocs and right up close.

Yet again your itinerary is alright and it is doable but change;

2: arrive Entebbe
3: Kampala
4: Kampala/Entebbe (you don't have to be commuting from Kampala to Entebbe and back to Kampala)
please understand that our public transport system is not the best and i would recommend you consider using the post bus. As by far it is the most secure bus in Uganda, though it takes alot of time.
Also upcountry travel take alot of time to get filled with passengers.

Mbarara to Entebbe (you don't have to go to mbarara 34kms back from lake mburo. You can get a lift or organize one to bring you to lyatonde town if like or wait at the road side at kagate and you will catch a bus there. When you get Kampala you could walk to the taxi park which is 300meters from Namirembe road to the old taxi park and catch a coast bus to Jinja so you can do jinja the next day 19th and depart Jinja or the 20th early for Kampala and Entebbe)
