Uganda Gorilla & Wildlife Safari

Overview

Uganda Gorilla & Wildlife Safari

This is a starting point. We refine lodges, flying days and pacing around who is travelling, the season and how you like to spend a safari afternoon.

Safari highlights

  • Bwindi gorilla trekking
  • Uganda wildlife and waterways
  • Private pacing around permits

Primate trekking days

Gorilla treks are permit-led, weather-affected and physically uneven. We build the nights before and after around recovery, dry kit and unhurried transfers.

Sightings are carefully managed for the animals’ welfare — one hour with the group is standard once contact is made.

Practical information

How to get there

Entebbe is the main international gateway. Internal flights or scenic road transfers link primate forests, savannah parks and lakeside stops.

Climate

Uganda’s equatorial climate stays green for much of the year. Days are warm; forest treks can feel humid. Two rainy seasons — March to May and October to November — require sturdy footwear and flexible scheduling.

Best time to visit

June to September and December to February are the most reliable trekking windows. We secure permits early and build recovery nights around forest days.

Information & facts

  • Mountain gorilla
  • Chimpanzee
  • Tree-climbing lion in Ishasha
  • Hippo, buffalo and elephant on savannah circuits
  • Rich birdlife including shoebill in select areas
  • Permit-led primate experiences anchor most routes
  • Forest and savannah combine in one country
  • Pacing matters on trekking days
