Uganda is known for its diversity of habitats, from lush rainforests to flat savannah plains, vast lakelands to elevated, mountainous terrain, each bringing experiences as unique as the landscapes themselves. A Uganda adventure wouldn't be complete without trekking through the Bwindi National Park to witness majestic mountain gorilla families. This iconic African experience is easily combined with a classic Big 5 safari in Queen Elizabeth National Park.

UGANDA EXPERIENCES
Renowned for its primates, Uganda offers a wealth of amazing wildlife and ‘off-the-beaten track’ nature experiences. We’ll customise a once-in-a-lifetime Uganda itinerary that reflects your specific interests, passions and dreams.
A green, hilly country with many lakes, forests and mountains, Uganda is home to half the world’s gorillas, resident in in the lush Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Encounter Africa’s biggest population of chimpanzees in the Kibale rainforest or explore the Queen Elizabeth National Park for classic big game viewing and excellent birding. Let us design a custom trip including the perfect places for you.
From exhilarating wildlife encounters to out-of-this-world natural wonders, echoes of ancient empires, and rose-gold beaches, every bespoke Mahlatini journey is designed to immerse you in the extraordinary. Whether it’s a bucket list trip, marking a milestone, or a soul-stirring retreat, let this handpicked selection inspire your next escape.
Uganda has distinct dry and green seasons. For gorilla trekking we recommend doing this during the short rain months of December to February and the dry season months of June to September to ensure easier conditions for hiking. For traditional game viewing in the savannah areas, we recommend February and March, or September.

The trip was amazing! The gorillas and chimpanzees truly stole the show, but Wildwaters Lodge and Murchison Falls were fantastic as well. It was another unforgettable trip by Mahlatini.
