Gorillas are just part of the story

Uganda is a land that beckons to be explored, from volcanic mountains veiled in mist, to the sun-drenched savannah, to the magnificent heights of the snow-capped peaks.

The astounding diversity of wildlife will captivate you, especially when you find yourself in the proximity of gorillas in their mountainous habitat or chimpanzees in their forest dwelling. With thriving ecotourism and one of the highest biodiversity ratings of any reserve in the world, Queen Elizabeth National Park makes for an exceptional eco-luxury safari for families. You can also find respectful wildlife viewings in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest Park.

What makes a trip to Uganda so unique is the chance to learn about the heritage and stories of the local communities firsthand. Participate in a Batwa cultural experience in the Buniga Forest, and meet with local people to learn about the Ugandan way of life.

We focus on sustainable tourism that contributes positively to Uganda’s environment and local economies and team up with local partners who share our views on responsible travel.
