Uganda
The Pearl of Africa — home to mountain gorillas, chimpanzees, tree-climbing lions and some of the continent's most diverse landscapes.
Plan my Uganda journey →Africa's best-kept secret.
Uganda packs an extraordinary amount into a compact country — from the misty mountains of Bwindi to the vast savannahs of Queen Elizabeth National Park.
This is one of only three countries in the world where you can trek to see mountain gorillas in the wild. But Uganda offers far more than primates — expect tree-climbing lions, shoebill storks, white-water rafting on the Nile and some of the most welcoming people in Africa.
Our specialists design gorilla trekking journeys that combine intimate lodges, expert guides and meaningful conservation encounters into one seamless adventure.

Why Uganda
Unmissable experiences.
The Pearl of Africa — home to mountain gorillas, chimpanzees, tree-climbing lions and some of the continent's most diverse landscapes.
Mountain Gorillas
Trek through the misty bamboo forests of Bwindi Impenetrable to sit quietly among a habituated gorilla family — a life-changing encounter.
Chimpanzee Tracking
Kibale Forest is the primate capital of the world — track wild chimpanzees through lush rainforest canopy.
Queen Elizabeth NP
Famous for its tree-climbing lions in the Ishasha sector, plus boat cruises on the Kazinga Channel teeming with hippos and elephants.
Murchison Falls
Watch the entire Nile force itself through a 7-metre gap before thundering 43 metres into the 'Devil's Cauldron' below.
Shoebill Stork
One of Africa's most sought-after birds — find the prehistoric-looking shoebill in the papyrus swamps of Mabamba.
Source of the Nile
Visit Jinja, where the White Nile begins its 6,650km journey from Lake Victoria to the Mediterranean Sea.
Plan your trip
When to visit Uganda.
Uganda can be visited year-round. The dry seasons (June to September and December to February) are best for gorilla trekking, with drier trails and clearer skies.
