Wildlife Safaris in Uganda and Rwanda
Classic wildlife safaris add elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, lions, antelopes, hippos and many other species to a primate-focused trip. Uganda offers several distinct wildlife parks, while Rwanda’s Akagera National Park brings savannah game viewing into a compact Rwanda itinerary. Morning and late-afternoon drives usually offer comfortable light and active wildlife.
