Uganda - Safariman Expeditions
Uganda
The Pearl of Africa
Uganda, the Pearl of Africa, is a country of lush jungles, misty mountains, and raw encounters with nature. Here, you’ll trek deep into the forests to meet endangered gorillas, cruise along the Nile, and relax on scenic crater lakes.
It’s a destination for the curious and the bold—where every journey leads to unforgettable discovery.
Top Destinations in Uganda
Bwindi Impenetrable Forest
Bwindi is one of the most biologically diverse forests in the world and home to nearly half of the world’s remaining mountain gorillas. Trekking through its dense foliage to observe a gorilla family in their natural habitat is a life-changing experience.
The region also offers scenic views, cultural encounters with the Batwa people, and eco-lodges deep in the forest.
Murchison Falls National Park
Uganda’s largest national park, Murchison Falls, offers powerful waterfall views and exceptional wildlife experiences. Boat safaris along the Nile bring you close to hippos, crocodiles, and elephants, while the savannah plains offer sightings of giraffes, lions, and leopards.
A hike to the top of the falls is a must—feel the thunder of the Nile as it squeezes through a narrow gorge.
Queen Elizabeth National Park
A diverse ecosystem of savannah, forests, wetlands, and lakes makes Queen Elizabeth National Park a top wildlife destination. Highlights include tree-climbing lions in the Ishasha sector and boat safaris along the Kazinga Channel, rich in hippos and birdlife.
This park is ideal for photographers, birders, and first-time safari-goers.
Lake Bunyonyi
Surrounded by terraced hills and dotted with 29 small islands, Lake Bunyonyi is one of Africa’s most scenic lakes. It’s perfect for canoeing, swimming, and unwinding in a peaceful setting. The lake area also offers insight into local Bakiga culture.
Whether as a post-gorilla-trekking retreat or a destination in its own right, Bunyonyi is serene and soul-soothing.
