Our Top Safari Destinations
Uganda holds ten national parks and several game reserves. Each one delivers a different experience: gorillas, chimps, big game, water birds, mountains. Your safari style decides which parks belong on your route.
We send our team to every destination before we recommend it to you. This list comes from years of building trips across the country. Talk to a consultant to match these parks to your travel dates and interests.
