Uganda Safaris Overview

Gorilla trekking is the driving force of tourism in Uganda even though the country is full of other safari gems. Many people are now doing the excellent chimpanzee treks while in Uganda as well. Between Bwindi (where the gorillas are) and Kibale (where the best chimp viewing is) lies Queen Elizabeth National Park so it is usually included as well to see general game for those doing both gorillas and chimps. Murchison Falls is a popular addition for those looking for an extended safari in Uganda. However, I believe some of the best experiences are in the rarely visited Kidepo and Semliki National Parks. See our Wild Places section for details.
