The main attraction on our African safaris in Uganda is Bwindi Impenetrable National Park of course. This massive tropical rainforest covers 33,100ha (331 Sq km) of improbably steep mountain rainforest. It houses almost half of the world’s surviving 1000 mountain gorillas. Apart from the 350 bird species, the forest is also a sanctuary for bushbuck, chimpanzees, African golden cats, the rare giant forest hog, and the gentle forest elephants.

But Africa has much more to offer beyond Bwindi. In Uganda, you can track chimpanzees in Kibale Forest National Park. Also, witness powerful waterfalls at Murchison Falls National Park. Explore the vast savannas of Queen Elizabeth National Park, home to tree-climbing lions. Lake Mburo and Kidepo Valley National Parks offer unique landscapes, rich wildlife, and cultural experiences with local communities.

Across Kenya, safaris in Maasai Mara,Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, and Hell’s Gate National Parks provide opportunities to witness the Great Wildebeest Migration, massive elephant herds, rhinos, and dramatic landscapes. The capital’s Nairobi National Park offers a rare mix of wildlife and city views, while Tsavo and Samburu National Parks showcase diverse habitats and rare species.

In Tanzania, the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater deliver some of Africa’s best game viewing. With endless plains, predator action, and abundant wildlife. Lake Manyara and Tarangire National Parks feature tree-climbing lions, huge elephant herds, and breathtaking scenery, while Gombe and Mahale National Parks offer intimate chimpanzee trekking experiences.
