UGANDA
All safaris are tailored to personal preferences, contact us to discuss your travel needs.
Uganda is a land of misty mountains, lush forests, and incredible wildlife encounters. It is most popular for gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Hiking through the dense jungle and coming face-to-face with a family of gorillas is one of the most moving wildlife experiences you can have. But Uganda has much more to offer.
Murchison Falls: The Power of the Nile
But Uganda has much more to offer. The Nile River, which starts its journey in Uganda, creates the stunning Murchison Falls, where the mighty river squeezes through a narrow gorge before plunging into the depths below. The falls attract elephants, hippos, and crocodiles, making for an exciting boat safari. Hike from the bottom of the falls to the top, getting close to the spray on your way up.
Queen Elizabeth Park
In Queen Elizabeth National Park, the Kazinga Channel is another hotspot for wildlife. A boat cruise here takes you past large herds of elephants, basking crocodiles, and countless hippos. For an added thrill, look out for the famous tree-climbing lions in the park’s Ishasha region.
Lake Victoria and Lake Bunyonyi
Lake Victoria, the largest lake in Africa, offers a serene escape with its scenic islands, fishing villages, and vibrant birdlife. Visitors can explore the Ssese Islands, go fishing, or take a boat cruise to experience the beauty of this vast freshwater lake.
Lake Bunyonyi, often called the “Swiss Africa,” is one of the deepest lakes in Africa. Surrounded by terraced hills and dotted with small islands, it is a peaceful retreat perfect for canoeing, hiking, and cultural experiences with the local communities.
Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is not only famous for its gorillas but also for its rich biodiversity. The park is home to over 120 mammal species, 350 bird species, and an abundance of butterflies. Besides gorilla trekking, visitors can enjoy birdwatching, nature walks, and cultural encounters with the Batwa people, who have lived in the forest for generations. Their traditions, storytelling, and dances provide a unique cultural experience that enhances any visit to Bwindi.
The Baganda Kingdom
The Baganda people are the largest ethnic group in Uganda, and their kingdom has a rich history. The Kabaka (king) resides in the Lubiri Palace in Kampala, a cultural landmark that offers a glimpse into Uganda’s royal traditions. Visitors can also explore the Kasubi Tombs, a UNESCO-listed site and the burial grounds of past Baganda kings.
