The experiences that make Uganda
An hour with mountain gorillas
Uganda is home to roughly half the world's mountain gorillas, in Bwindi Impenetrable and Mgahinga. After a guided forest hike you spend one unforgettable hour with a habituated family. A permit is required and demand is high, so we secure yours early.

Following our closest cousins
Kibale National Park is East Africa's premier chimpanzee destination, with excellent tracking success. Kyambura Gorge and Budongo Forest add further options along popular routes. Expect an early start, forest walking and time observing chimps high in the canopy and on the forest floor.

Big game on land and water
Murchison Falls, Queen Elizabeth, Kidepo Valley and Lake Mburo deliver classic game drives plus something special — boat safaris on the Nile and the Kazinga Channel, where elephants, hippos, buffalo and countless birds gather at the water's edge.

Over 1,000 species
From the prehistoric shoebill in the Mabamba wetlands to Albertine Rift endemics in the western forests, Uganda is one of Africa's richest birding countries. Forest, wetland and savannah habitats combine in a compact area, ideal for dedicated birders and curious first-timers alike.

What shapes your price
The cost of a Uganda safari depends on the number of days, your accommodation level, group size, permits, park entrance fees, domestic flights and the season you travel. Gorilla and chimpanzee permits are a fixed, significant part of any primate itinerary, while larger groups share vehicle and guide costs.
Because every trip is private and tailor-made, we prepare an exact quotation once we understand your plans — no vague "from" pricing that changes at booking. For a full breakdown of park fees, permit costs and sample budgets, see our dedicated cost guide.

Uganda through the seasons
Uganda is a year-round destination. Weather is never fully predictable, but these patterns help with planning.
Generally drier conditions — good for trekking, wildlife viewing and road travel.
Wetter, greener and quieter. Lush scenery; some trails and roads are more demanding.
The most popular period — book permits and lodges early to secure your dates.
Shorter rains and changing regional conditions; often excellent value and fewer crowds.
Getting to Uganda & between parks
Nearly all safaris begin at Entebbe International Airport. From there, most travel is by private 4×4 with your driver-guide. Uganda's parks are spread out and some road days are long, which is exactly why route design and park order matter so much.
Where time is short or distances are large — reaching remote Kidepo, for example — domestic flights can replace a long drive. We plan the most practical mix of road and air for your itinerary, and advise on Rwanda extensions or border crossings only where they genuinely help.
Arrival at Entebbe
International arrivals point, with a welcome and transfer to your first stop.
Private 4×4 transfers
Your own vehicle and guide for the whole journey — comfortable and flexible.
Domestic flights
Optional short hops to save time on long routes such as Kidepo.
Lodges chosen for the route
Lodge location matters — around Bwindi's trekking sectors, at park gates and along long transfer routes, the right base saves hours and makes early starts easier.

"Our 8-day gorilla, chimp and wildlife route was flawless. The itinerary was realistic, the lodges were perfectly placed for early treks, and our guide's knowledge made every drive better."
"They handled our gorilla permits and adjusted the route when our flights changed, all over WhatsApp. Seeing gorillas in Bwindi was the highlight of our lives."
"Honest, responsive and genuinely local. Murchison Falls by boat, rhinos at Ziwa and chimps in Kibale — brilliantly organised from start to finish."
