Uganda
Uganda is East Africa’s most biodiverse country and the only destination where you can track both mountain gorillas and chimpanzees, then move into classic Big Five savanna parks — all within a relatively compact and varied itinerary. Lush forests, powerful waterfalls and recovering wildlife populations create a rich and rewarding safari experience.
Uganda Highlights
Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and Mgahinga offer high-quality mountain gorilla trekking. Kibale Forest is widely regarded as the best place in Africa for chimpanzee tracking. Queen Elizabeth National Park (particularly the Ishasha sector, famous for its tree-climbing lions) and Murchison Falls National Park deliver classic game viewing against spectacular backdrops, including the powerful Murchison Falls themselves. Uganda is ideal for travellers who want the magic of the great apes combined with traditional savanna wildlife in a single journey. Ideal for primate enthusiasts, photographers, families with older children, honeymooners, and travellers wanting a diverse mix of forest and savanna experiences.
Best time: June–September and December–February are the preferred drier periods for both trekking and game viewing, though gorilla and chimpanzee permits are available year-round.
Highlights: mountain gorilla trekking, chimpanzee tracking in Kibale, Queen Elizabeth National Park (tree-climbing lions), Murchison Falls National Park, and exceptional overall biodiversity.
