Uganda safari

Absolutely! In almost any Ugandan national park you can at least experience one kind of safari, no matter if in a jeep, on a boat, on foot or on a horse or bike.

Queen Elizabeth National Park boasts a variety of highlights such as chimpanzee trekking in Kyambura Gorge, a boat safari on the Kazinga Channel and tree-climbing lions. Next to stunning wildlife, Murchison Falls National Park offers you boat trips along the Nile River to the Murchison Falls or to the delta. If you love birds, this should be on your itinerary, since the prehistoric shoebill roams this area.

The remote Kidepo Valley National Park offers a true wilderness experience and is home to many species which you can’t find anywhere else in the country, such as the graceful cheetah.

If you’re crazy about chimpanzees, head to Kibale National Park: not only can you experience the most reliable chimpanzee trekking in the country, thanks to a special habituation program you can even spend the entire day with our close relatives. And if you want to experience a unique Ugandan safari, just hop on board of a boat and discover lakes like the great Victoria Lake and all the beauty that surrounds it.

The country’s main highlight is undoubtedly gorilla trekking. Coming close to the last one of their kind is an experience you will cherish forever.

Yes, you can easily combine gorilla and/or chimpanzee trekking with a safari in Uganda. Depending on how much time you have, you can even do all three.

While the national parks Lake Mburo and Queen Elizabeth are excellent game drive and boat safari destinations, Kibale is the prime spot for chimpanzee trekking. All of these parks are in the east of the country, with Kibale lying north of Queen Elizabeth – and even here you could go for chimpanzee trekking in the stunning Kyambura Gorge.

For gorilla trekking you need to head south of Queen Elizabeth National Park, either to Mgahinga Gorilla National Park or Bwindi Impenetrable Natinonal Park.

Your consultant is happy to create a route which matches your wishes, time and budget to a tee.

Yes, you can see the Big Five in Uganda, but not all in a single spot. While you can marvel at lions, leopards, elephants, and buffalo in Queen Elizabeth National Park and Murchison Falls National Park, the rhino is only home in the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary. Here, however, you can get very close to the grey giant since the sanctuary only offers a rhino tracking experience on foot.

As fascinating as the Big Five are, countless other fascinating animals roam the Ugandan savannas. Hyenas, hippos, zebras, the Ugandan kob, and various other antelope species are only too happy to pose in front of your lens – not to mention more than a thousand species of birds in all colours of the rainbow.

The ultimate highlight? Visit our closest relatives of the animal world during chimpanzee and gorilla trekking.

The experiences and safaris Uganda has in store for you are truly one-of-a-kind. While Murchison Falls National Park wows you with stunning waterfalls on the Nile River, the Mgahinga National Park hosts several volcanoes, also known as the famous Virunga Mountains. A true rainforest awaits you in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Queen Elizabeth National Park is home not only to Rift Valley lakes, but also crater lakes.

Of course, Uganda is also a great place to see the unique African wildlife in their natural habitat with some mainly gentle giants taking the spotlight: mountain gorillas and chimpanzees – and yes, you can see them roaming around their home in the Ugandan jungles.
