About this Safari

Known as ‘The Pearl of Africa’ Uganda’s landscape ranges from the white-capped Rwenzori mountains to the Great Rift Valley and shores of Lake Victoria. Uganda is a landlocked country bordered by South Sudan to the north, Kenya to the east, the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the west, and Tanzania and Rwanda to the south.

With unmatched up-close encounters, trekking through untamed, pristine rainforests, in search of the endangered mountain gorillas is the ultimate life-changing experience.

Community visits and tours, birding and wildlife walks, and excursions for gorilla trekking and boat cruises
