Your Ugandan safari begins right now. With the amazing wildlife this country boasts, we know you're eager to dive in. Once we introduce you to your guide and address any questions you may have, we’ll set off on your adventure.

In Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, you don’t have to wander far from the main trails to see how Uganda’s top gorilla-tracking destination earned its name. The steep terrain and thick growth of ferns and shrubs in this stunning highland forest can create challenging walking conditions. Luckily, the park features a well-maintained network of paths that allow you to search for its rich variety of wildlife, including not just mountain gorillas but also 10 other primate species, six types of forest antelope, 350 bird species, and over 200 species of butterflies.
