Uganda Holidays
Tailor-made Luxury Holidays
"The Pearl of Africa"
~ Winston Churchill ~
Uganda is one of the world’s most biodiverse countries: home to 13 types of primates and 330 mammals, of which six are found nowhere else, as well as more than 1000 bird species, it also encompasses a startling range of landscapes, from Africa’s highest mountain range and the source of the Nile – the world’s longest river – to the continent’s largest lake.
Why do a Uganda Luxury Safari
A Uganda safari holiday offers the intrepid traveller the best that Africa has to offer. From the lush Bwindi Impenetrable Forest with its last remaining Mountain gorillas, to the stunning Lake Bunyonyi, Uganda offers something for everyone. Curate your holiday experience and let us do the rest for you. It couldn’t be more easy.
“For magnificence, for variety of form and colour, for profusion of brilliant life — bird, insect, reptile, beast — for vast scale — Uganda is truly ‘the Pearl of Africa’.” Winston Churchill penned these words about Uganda in 1907, and more than a century later, they still ring true.
Uganda is Africa’s premier bird watching destination, with over 1000 species of birds and a combination of Albertine Rift endemics, ‘old forest’ birds and papyrus species. This safari is for the avid birder who wants to tick off at least 100 new species. From the not-so-hard-to-find shoebill to the Nkulengu rail, you will be astounded how many new birds species you’ll see. Combine this with chimpanzee and gorilla trekking.
Wildlife Holidays to Uganda
Western Uganda is home to the majority of the country’s national parks and reserves, making it the top region for wildlife experiences. The standout highlight of this area is the gorilla tracking adventure in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, situated in Uganda’s southwestern corner. While encountering mountain gorillas is the main reason for visiting Bwindi, there is much more wildlife to discover in the park’s misty forests. Visitors can also spot nine other primate species, including black-and-white colobus and l’Hoest monkeys, as well as forest duikers, elusive forest elephants, and a stunning array of over 200 butterfly species. This diverse ecosystem makes Bwindi a must-visit destination for nature lovers.
Primate Holidays to Bwindi
Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is home to around 400 mountain gorillas, representing nearly half of the world’s remaining wild population, making it Uganda’s most popular tourist destination. Visitors come to track these magnificent apes, with more than a hundred habituated for observation, requiring an adventurous hike through the misty tropical rainforest. Along the way, trekkers can spot a variety of wildlife, including forest duikers, rare l’Hoest monkeys, olive baboons, bushbucks, and black-and-white colobus monkeys. The park is also home to elusive forest elephants, numerous butterflies (about 220 species), and a rich bird population, boasting around 350 species, enhancing the incredible biodiversity of this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
