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.

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.

Whether it’s a bucket-list adventure, a milestone celebration or simply a much-needed escape, experience the joy with this inspiring selection of favourites.
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.
