Uganda

Journey through a remarkably diverse corner of East Africa, where misty forests, primate encounters, classic wildlife and dramatic landscapes come together in one deeply rewarding adventure.

The heart of Africa, alive with discovery.

Uganda offers a wonderfully varied African experience, bringing together lush forests, open savannahs, dramatic waterways and some of the continent’s most memorable primate encounters.

Best known for its mountain gorillas and chimpanzees, Uganda gives travellers the opportunity to explore wildlife in environments that feel intimate, green and deeply connected to nature. Time spent on foot in the forest brings a completely different rhythm to the traditional safari experience.

Beyond its primates, Uganda is home to an impressive variety of wildlife, including elephants, lions, hippos and abundant birdlife. Destinations such as Queen Elizabeth National Park and Murchison Falls add classic game viewing, river experiences and expansive landscapes to the journey.

Uganda is ideal for travellers looking for something beyond the traditional safari—a journey that combines close encounters in the forest with wildlife viewing, striking scenery, cultural experiences and a genuine sense of exploration.

Primate encounters and wild landscapes.

Uganda offers a distinctive safari experience where immersive forest adventures sit naturally alongside classic African wildlife and dramatic scenery. It is particularly rewarding for travellers who want variety and a more active connection with the landscapes they explore.

Mountain Gorillas

Trek through Uganda’s forest landscapes for the extraordinary opportunity to encounter mountain gorillas in their natural habitat. The journey through the forest is an important part of the experience itself, making the eventual encounter feel personal, immersive and deeply connected to the surrounding wilderness.

Chimpanzee Experiences

Explore lush forests in search of chimpanzees and other fascinating primates. Guided experiences offer the chance to observe their behaviour while discovering the rich vegetation, birdlife and smaller details that make Uganda’s forest ecosystems so rewarding.

Classic Wildlife

Uganda’s safari experience extends well beyond primates. Explore national parks and waterways in search of elephants, lions, hippos, antelope and diverse birdlife, adding traditional game viewing to the country’s renowned forest adventures.

Murchison Falls

Experience one of Uganda’s most dramatic natural landscapes, where the Nile passes through the Murchison Falls region. Combine striking scenery with wildlife viewing and time along the river for a different perspective on the country’s wilderness.
