Products & Services

Gorilla Tracking Trips

Season: Year round

Uganda is the only country where the endangered Mountain Gorilla can be seen in its natural habitant and we organise expeditions through the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in the south of the country to search for this magnificent species, and Parc de Nationale in the Virungas.

Cycling Trips

Season: Year round

Your challenge is to cycle 300 km in one of the most spectacularly beautiful countries of East Africa, through Lake Mburo National park which features some of the rare animals in Uganda including impala, eland, antelopes as well as zebras, buffalo and hippos.

Birding Trips

Season:

Uganda is one of the best bird watching destinations with an excellent tropical climate and lies in the Albertine Rift region. A tiny landlocked country supporting more than 1000 species, Uganda deserves its reputation as “birders Eden”. A short trip here to soak up the mind-blowing shoebills at Mabamba, Murchison falls or Albertine Rift endemics at Bwindi Natioal Park is incredibly rewarding. Uganda is a superb destination for rainforest fanatics and those in search of rare elusive species.

Cultural and Eco-tourism

Season: Year round

Uganda has a very strong cultural heritage. Many regions in Uganda have kingdoms including Buganda, Busoga, Bunyoro, Ankole, Toro, etc. Ugandans are remarkably hospitable and hail from a diversity of rich cultures and lifestyles. Each tribe has it's own traditional dance. Visit Kabarole and enjoy this delightful scenic area called “The Best in the West”. Here you’ll enjoy spectacular views of the Rwenzori Mountains, the legendary “Mountains of the Moon”. You’ll trek in the Kibale Forest National Park – an outstanding tropical rainforest environment, you’ll see sensationally beautiful crater lakes, you marvel at the magnificent kindness and hospitality that you’ll be offered – everywhere, the Ankole culture and lastly the Baganda!

Chimpanzee Tracking

Season:

We take our clients for special experiences with Chimpanzees which is quite strenuous hiking in the thickly forested regions of Western Uganda, however it's well worth the effort.

Fishing

Season:

Come to Uganda to fish one of the largest water predators on this earth; the Nile Perch on Lake Victoria and the Nile. On world records, the largest freshwater fish have been obtained in Ugandan waters.
