The safari

Experience Uganda's two most iconic wildlife encounters on a carefully crafted safari that takes you deep into the ancient rainforests of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Kibale Forest National Park. Meet endangered mountain gorillas, track wild chimpanzees, and discover why Uganda is regarded as one of Africa's greatest primate destinations.

Some journeys are measured in miles.

Others are measured in moments you'll never forget.

Watching a mountain gorilla gently cradle her infant, hearing the echoing calls of wild chimpanzees through the rainforest canopy, and travelling through Uganda's breathtaking landscapes are experiences that stay with you long after you've returned home.

Designed for travellers seeking an authentic African adventure with exceptional value, this five-day safari combines extraordinary wildlife encounters, comfortable accommodation, spectacular scenery, and personalised service into one unforgettable experience.

Whether you're travelling solo, as a couple, with family, or among friends, this safari offers the perfect introduction to the Pearl of Africa.
