Uganda safari ideas for every pace
Uganda rewards travellers who combine its different landscapes. A single trip can move from the Nile and open savannah to crater lakes, chimpanzee forest and the mountain gorilla highlands. Our Uganda safaris are private and can be shortened, extended or upgraded around the experiences that matter most to you.

Short journeys often focus on Bwindi gorilla trekking or pair Bwindi with Queen Elizabeth National Park. Longer routes can add Kibale Forest, Murchison Falls, Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, Lake Mburo, Lake Bunyonyi, Kidepo Valley, Jinja, Sipi Falls and Karamoja.
