Explore Uganda’s Wildlife Up Close

Glide across shimmering lakes, follow fresh tracks on the savanna, and watch the sun set over herds of elephant. In Uganda, every safari is an adventure that also safeguards the wild.

Unveiling Uganda’s Wild Treasures

Discover Uganda’s Incredible Wildlife

Uganda is one of Africa’s most wildlife-rich destinations, thanks to its remarkable variety of landscapes and vegetation zones. From the lush tropical forests and crater lakes of the Albertine Rift Valley in the west, to the dramatic volcanic ranges of Mount Elgon and the Karamoja highlands in the east, the country is a mosaic of habitats. In between, you’ll find golden savannas, shimmering lakes, winding rivers, wetlands, and even steaming hot springs – each home to its own unique mix of species.

A safari in Uganda is never one-dimensional. Glide past pods of hippos on a boat safari, track wildlife on foot with an experienced guide, or watch elephants wander the plains as the sun sets. Each adventure supports both the protection of these landscapes and the communities who depend on them.

Travel With Purpose

Your Safari Supports Conservation

Uganda is home to four of the legendary “Big Five” – elephant, lion, leopard, and buffalo – along with countless other remarkable species. White rhinos, once roaming freely, are now thriving in Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary thanks to a successful breeding programme, with plans underway to reintroduce them to the wild.

Other wildlife highlights include Nile crocodiles, elegant giraffes, playful zebras, graceful Uganda kob, waterbucks, hyenas, cheetahs, ostriches, and a variety of primates. Bird lovers will find Uganda a true paradise, with over 1,100 species recorded – experienced birders often spot 500–600 in just two weeks.

Every safari contributes directly to wildlife protection. Tourism revenue funds anti-poaching patrols, habitat restoration, and community-led projects. By choosing to explore Uganda, you’re not just enjoying an unforgettable journey – you’re helping safeguard one of the world’s most diverse and spectacular wildlife regions for generations to come.
