Uganda is famous for its mountain gorillas. Half of the entire population of mountain gorillas in the world inhabit Uganda. Mountain gorillas aren’t the only primates in Uganda, in fact 70% of the world’s primate species can be found here. Chimpanzee trekking safaris are popular due to the high numbers inhabiting the country.
Uganda is also home to some classic game such as lions, leopard, buffalo, elephants and white rhino as well as other wild bush animals such as Rothschild giraffes, jackals, cheetah, Burchell’s zebra, the Roan Antelope, Oribis, Kobs, Water bucks, bushbucks, and warthogs.
The country has over 65 tribal groups with different customs, festivals and livelihoods making Uganda perfect for a cultural safari. The tribes live all over Uganda from the Karimojong who live in the Morungole Mountains to the Batwa with their ancient settlement hidden within the dense forest. The unique festivals and way of life make for remarkable safari memories to look back on long after you have left.
Uganda safaris are possible all throughout the year but the best time to go is during the dry months (June to August) and from December to February for birding. Gorilla and chimpanzee trekking make up a lot of Uganda safaris which will mean a lot of walking through rain forests. You can’t avoid the rain completely but after the showers pass the sky will often open up to bright sunshine.
