The safari

Experience Uganda in its fullest expression on an extraordinary 14-day journey through the country's most spectacular national parks, ancient rainforests, vibrant cultures, and breath-taking landscapes.

Some safaris introduce you to a destination.

This one allows you to truly know it.

Track endangered mountain gorillas through the mist-covered forests of Bwindi, follow wild chimpanzees in Kibale National Park, walk alongside Uganda's only wild rhinos, search for lions, elephants, buffaloes and the elusive leopard across vast savannahs, witness the thunderous power of Murchison Falls, and explore the remote wilderness of Kidepo Valley National Park—one of Africa's last great hidden safari destinations.

Beyond the wildlife, you'll discover Uganda's cultural richness through authentic encounters with the Karamojong pastoralists and the Batwa people, whose traditions have shaped these remarkable landscapes for generations.

Designed for travellers seeking the ultimate Ugandan adventure, this flagship expedition blends exceptional wildlife viewing, immersive cultural experiences, comfortable accommodation, and expertly guided exploration into one unforgettable safari.
