Itinerary

It is no coincidence that this country is known as the Pearl of Africa. Its natural riches are inexhaustible: approximately 20% of its territory is designated as a nature reserve. Uganda offers a truly extraordinary abundance and variety of wildlife. Among them stands out the largest number of primates in the world, including the largest colonies of mountain gorillas. During this trip you will have encounters with gorillas, chimpanzees and the most iconic wild animals that inhabit the savannas and vast lakes of this East African nation.

Upon your arrival at Entebbe International Airport (EBB), our staff will be waiting to welcome you.
