The landscapes range from classic East African savannas to dense rainforests and provide habitat for impressive wildlife. In the early morning, lions, leopards, giraffes, and elephants gather at watering holes. Later, you’ll encounter the gentle giants of the rainforest or observe hippos along the riverbanks. With over 1,000 bird species, Uganda is also considered an eldorado for ornithologists.

A highlight of any Uganda trip is gorilla trekking or chimpanzee trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable and Mgahinga National Parks. Here you’ll experience the rare mountain gorillas up close – a deeply moving moment and a nature experience that leaves a lasting impression. Nowhere else can you feel the pristine character of the African continent so intensely – the cost for a gorilla trekking permit is currently around $600 per person/day – significantly cheaper than in Rwanda.
