Uganda Safari Tours

The best time to travel is during the dry periods between December and February and July and October. At this time of year it is worth visiting the large national parks. Classic game drives in open jeeps are then possible as well as numerous wildlife sightings. If you want to visit the rainforest region in western Uganda, you can also use the rainy season. This way you will not only benefit from significantly cooler temperatures, but also from reduced prices for gorilla and chimpanzee trekking tours. Due to Uganda's high altitude, temperatures are neither particularly high nor particularly low. Average daytime highs vary between 25 and 30 degrees Celsius. At night, temperatures reach around 17 degrees Celsius. The region around Lake Victoria is considered particularly rainy. The thunderstorm clusters formed over the lake usually rain directly on site.

Considered the pinnacle of Uganda's safari highlights, the Gorilla trekking in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. The dense rainforest on Uganda's western border is home to half of the world's mountain gorilla population. In small groups with a maximum of eight participants, you will get closer to the majestic giants of the jungle than anywhere else. In the early morning hours, the great adventure begins. After a thematic introduction, you will approach the area - depending on the location of your lodge - first in an off-road vehicle. A hike through the rainforest thicket will take you ever closer to the habitat of the mountain gorillas. Once on-site, spend about an hour with the human-like primate species organized into families. Study the behaviour of these fascinating apes and receive fascinating information and tips from your expert guide. Various stream courses swamp areas crisscross the almost impenetrable rainforest, which beckons with unforgettable nature experiences all year round.
