Why go
Why visit this place?
It restores open-country wildlife to the circuit after Kibale while keeping water, escarpment, and community geography central.
When you arrive
What to expect
Mweya and the Kazinga Channel anchor the northern experience; Ishasha becomes the southern route onward toward Bwindi.
Local knowledge
Local tip
Treat Mweya and Ishasha as connected but distinct parts of a large park rather than collapsing them into one pin.
Visiting
Getting there
The circuit reaches Mweya from Kasese, then continues south through Ishasha and Kihihi toward Buhoma.
Best time: Seasonal rain affects vegetation and minor roads; use current UWA access guidance.
