Uganda Gorilla Safari

For those on a tight schedule but want the thrills of a Uganda Gorilla Safari, try the 4-day Gorilla Trekking Safari; if you have more time on your hands then we recommend the fabulous Classic Uganda & Rwanda which will take you to both Uganda's and Rwanda's top gorilla safari destinations.

But Uganda is more than just gorillas.

Wildlife aficionados will marvel at the diversity of wildlife at the Murchison Falls National Park and the Queen Elizabeth National Park (with its tick-list busting bird count of over 600 species) where, as well as at the primate-packed Kibale Forest National Park, chimpanzee trekking is fast becoming a very popular alternative to a Uganda gorilla safari.

Blend all these great destinations on our Classic Uganda Safari or Best of Uganda Holiday.

Uganda accommodation is equally varied and rich in choices. There's plenty of luxury accommodation that will put the finishing touch on your safari experience, and equally there are options for travellers on a tighter budget.

Uganda will constantly surprise you: it's an ecological crossover between the tropical forests and mountains of Central Africa and the sunny savannahs of East Africa and remains a superb safari destination to get the best of both worlds - we'd just recommend a quick look at our 'When to Go to Uganda' section to get your timing right, especially if you want to go gorilla tracking.

These days, perhaps Churchill's famous phrase can be revisited.

Like a pearl, Uganda remains largely undiscovered and off the main tourist circuits. And like a pearl, those who seek it out will be enriched by one of Africa's most memorable treasures.
