Uganda isn't called the Pearl of Africa for nothing. Here, silverback gorillas peer into your eyes from meters away. Lions roar at dusk across golden savannas. The Big Five roam free, and you're the one on safari.
From the misty highlands of Bwindi to the thundering falls of Murchison, every safari is a story you'll tell forever.
From intimate gorilla encounters to thrilling big game viewing, these are the wildlife experiences that define Uganda.
There's nothing quite like locking eyes with a mountain gorilla. These magnificent creatures — with 1,000+ individuals remaining — share 98% of our DNA. Trekking through misty forests to find a gorilla family is a privilege few experience in their lifetime.
Uganda's largest national park. Watch the Nile squeeze through a 7-meter gorge. See lions, elephants, giraffes, and hippos on game drives.
Track rhinos on foot at Ziwa Sanctuary — home to Uganda's only wild rhinos. A safe, thrilling walking safari experience.
Famous for tree-climbing lions, hippos, and the Kazinga Channel boat cruise where elephants drink at sunset.
Uganda has the highest concentration of primates. Track chimps and see 12 other primate species in Kibale Forest.
Uganda's smallest savanna park is also its most accessible. Zebras, giraffes, and hippos just 4 hours from Kampala.
Uganda's most remote park. Landscapes so dramatic, wildlife so abundant, it rivals the Serengeti. A true adventure.
