Uganda is one of the world’s great wildlife destinations. Straddling the equator and with a mix of savanna, rainforest, mountains and wetlands, the country boasts more than 1,000 species of birds. It is a stronghold for the highly sought-after Shoebill and the elusive African Finfoot. The Rwenzori Mountains and Albertine Rift in Uganda’s west are home to Mountain Gorillas as well as numerous rainforest birds. Africa’s Big Five roam the savannas, alongside Maneless Zebra, Nile Bushbuck, Lelwel Hartebeest, Oribi, and Common Eland.
This tour takes us to some of the best locations, including Murchison Falls, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, and Lake Victoria, for unforgettable wildlife experiences. We track White Rhino on foot, trek through forest to spend time in the company of Mountain Gorilla and Chimpanzee, and travel by wooden boat to search the papyrus swamps for Shoebill.
