Uganda Safaris and Holidays

Uganda, often referred to as the ‘Pearl of Africa’, is landlocked and bordered by Kenya, the Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda and with Tanzania to the south. Uganda is a small country of striking beauty with landscapes varying from fertile green areas around the northern shores of Lake Victoria to the snow capped Ruwenzori Mountains in the west and the semi-desert region in the north.

The deepest crater lake in all of Africa – Lake Bunyoni can be found in Uganda and its National Parks and Wildlife Reserves boast over 300 species of mammal and more than 1000 species of birds, the major attraction however, is the approximate 600 remaining mountain gorilla. Trekking safaris are a wonderful experience, allowing you the opportunity to have a close encounter with these gentle giants of the jungle in their natural habitat. From a base at Lake Bunyoni the trekking takes place in Uganda, Rwanda or Democratic Republic of Congo, dependent on local conditions and the availability of the gorilla permits. Uganda presents a unique experience for overland camping safaris and gorilla trekking safaris to get up close and personal with our closest living relative.
