Discover Untouched Wilderness and Primate Paradise on a Uganda Safari

Embark on an Intimate Safari Experience in Uganda!

Uganda, otherwise known as the “Pearl of Africa,” is one of the least frequented destinations in Africa. This is partially due to the fact that it is landlocked and one of the smallest countries on the continent. However, despite its size, Uganda offers some of the most diverse landscapes imaginable – lakes, rainforests, savannas, and mountain ranges.

Additionally, what makes Uganda stand out from the crowd is the fact that it boasts a healthy population of primates, making it a top destination for animal enthusiasts. Visitors can experience the thrill and awe of chimpanzee trekking and come face-to-face with majestic gorillas in their natural habitat.

Plus, with fewer visitors compared to other popular safari destinations like Tanzania and Kenya, a Uganda safari offers a more private and intimate experience. It is truly the perfect place to see unique wildlife and landscapes without the crowds.

Best Places To Visit in Uganda

Queen Elizabeth National Park

Discover the iconic Queen Elizabeth National Park, celebrated for its extraordinary biodiversity and stunning landscapes. Spanning savannahs, jungles, and forests, this park offers a truly diverse experience. It’s an ideal destination for traditional game viewing plus unique wildlife such as tree-climbing lion, hippo, crocodile, buffalo, and various antelope species. Additionally, don’t miss the opportunity for bird watching, on-foot chimp tracking, and a river cruise!

Kampala

Kampala is the busy capital city of Uganda, rich in political, economic, and cultural history. Take a boat cruise on Lake Victoria in search of the elusive Shoebill storks, visit the Uganda Museum, or the Kasubi Tombs, a UNESCO World Heritage site, to learn about the cultural heritage of the Buganda Kingdom.

Bwindi Impenetrable Forest

Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is renowned as one of the best destinations in the world for gorilla trekking. Nestled in the southwestern part of Uganda, this ancient rainforest is home to nearly half of the global population of mountain gorillas. But that’s not all – it is also home to over 350 bird species and many other primates and mammals.

Murchison Falls National Park

Located near Lake Albert in northwestern Uganda, this park is Uganda’s oldest and largest, offering wildlife viewing, ample opportunities for boat cruises on the Nile, and outstanding birding. See elephant, giraffe, hippo, and the largest population of Nile crocodile on game drives, visit the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, or go chimpanzee tracking in Budongo Forest.

The park is known for the Murchison Falls – the most powerful waterfall in the world – where the Victoria Nile River surges over a narrow gap in the river, cascading 43 meters before flowing out toward Lake Albert.

Kibale National Park

Kibale Forest is renowned as the “Primate Capital of the World” due to its unmatched diversity of primates. You can go on guided chimpanzee treks, which offer an unforgettable opportunity to observe these intelligent primates in their natural habitat. And this national park isn’t just home to chimpanzees, but also 12 other primate species, such as red colobus monkeys, grey-cheeked mangabey, and L’hoest’s monkeys, as well as a breathtaking plethora of butterfly species.

Kidepo Valley National Park

This isolated national park in Uganda offers prime game viewing and is home to a variety of wildlife and bird species. It boasts an excess of 80 mammal species and 470 bird species, including some of the rarest and most sought after birds in East Africa.
