Uganda, often called the Pearl of Africa, offers some of the most diverse wildlife safaris on the continent. Unlike many destinations that only focus on savannah game drives, Uganda combines classic big game encounters with unique forest adventures like gorilla trekking and chimpanzee tracking. Add to this breathtaking boat cruises, scenic nature walks, and world-class birdwatching, and you have a safari destination like no other.
With guidance from the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA), visitors enjoy safe and sustainable access to the country’s incredible parks and reserves, ensuring unforgettable encounters with nature while supporting conservation.
Uganda’s landscapes range from sweeping savannahs and volcanic highlands to tropical rainforests and papyrus swamps. This variety of ecosystems creates a rich habitat for abundant wildlife.
Stay in luxury safari lodges, eco-friendly camps, or budget guesthouses, each offering unique experiences in the heart of the wilderness.
Safaris in Uganda are possible throughout the year. However, the dry seasons (June–September and December–February) are best for game viewing, while wet seasons bring lush greenery and excellent birding opportunities.
