Uganda dazzles visitors with rare mountain gorilla encounters, an incredible diversity of wildlife, thundering waterfalls, and welcoming vibrant culture.
Trek mist-covered slopes to sit just feet from a gorilla family, gazing into their intelligent eyes. Spot tree-climbing lions, chimps, hippos and more on safari through Queen Elizabeth National Park. Raft the wild waters of the Nile River swirling under cliffs and through tropical forest. Enjoy Kampala’s dynamic urban energy before embarking to Uganda’s national parks and reserves teaming with life.
Top destinations include Bwindi Impenetrable Forest to track mountain gorillas, Queen Elizabeth National Park overflowing with wildlife, Murchison Falls National Park bisected by the mighty Nile River, and Kibale Forest with huge chimpanzee populations. Jinja provides adrenaline-pumping adventure.
The year-round warm climate sees two dry and rainy seasons. June through August and December through February are ideal for gorilla and chimp tracking. For safaris, the January-February dry season provides the best wildlife viewing opportunities when animals gather at water sources. But Uganda enthralls year-round.
Activities range from the once-in-a-lifetime experience of trekking to see endangered mountain gorillas to rafting through surging rapids on the White Nile River. Hike through Bwindi’s dense jungle or observe chimpanzees in the wild. Night game drives reveal nocturnal animals. Uganda provides a playground for adventurers.
From intimate eco-lodges to boutique hotels, guesthouses, and tented camps, Uganda offers wonderful accommodation options. Retire to plush suites with views of Murchison Falls or relax in a remote lodge tucked amid Bwindi’s hills. Local hospitality makes every stay warm.
For unforgettable wildlife, track gorillas in Bwindi’s bamboo forests as these gentle titans go about life just steps away. Queen Elizabeth Park brims with 95 mammal species. Murchison Falls reveals massive Nile crocodiles plus lions and giraffes. Uganda’s biodiversity astounds.
