Lush, adventurous and wonderfully diverse. Uganda offers extraordinary primate experiences alongside traditional safari, with the opportunity to trek both mountain gorillas and chimpanzees. It’s a fantastic choice for travellers looking to venture a little farther off the beaten path.
Uganda can be visited year-round, but the drier periods of June–September and December– February generally provide the most comfortable conditions for gorilla and chimpanzee trekking. Wetter months mean muddier trails but beautifully green landscapes and fewer visitors.
