This 14 day Harvard Alumni itinerary is a fantastic tribute to the savannahs and primates of Uganda. It is an incredible journey into the Pearl of Africa, exploring the rich mosaic of different floras and faunas.

Then onto Murchison Falls National Park where you cruise the White Nile, view the magnificent Murchison Falls and explore the wilderness in your safari vehicle. The itinerary also includes memorable trekking experiences for both our closest relative, the chimpanzee and the mighty mountain gorilla and the thrilling chance to search the Ishasha wilderness for tree-climbing lions, hyena and other wildlife. A luxury, private guided safari portraying some of the best bits that Uganda has to offer. The trip begins June 2, 2022.
As the global situation regarding COVID-19 continues to develop, so do University precautions and protocols. Harvard is currently allowing fully vaccinated faculty and staff to travel within the United States and to international destinations rated Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 for COVID-19 by the U.S. (CDC). While many scheduled trip destinations currently may be Level 4, the CDC ratings remain in flux, changing daily. Since group travel is planned far in advance, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to confirm your study leader’s participation before cancellation fees begin for your program, but we remain hopeful the destinations offered will fall within the bounds of University protocols to send faculty. For pricing and complete details on itinerary and lodging, visit www.alumni.harvard.edu You do not need to be a Harvard alumnus to participate, to be clear. This trip is rated Activity Level 4, requiring that you be in good overall health and able to hike for 4 or more hours in relatively high altitude conditions.
