7 Days of Wildlife Encounters, A Lifetime of Memories
Uganda is among the top twenty tourist destinations in the world and one of the few places you can see mountain gorillas. Our 7 day safari visits the country's most exciting destinations. Uganda offers a scenic blend of savannah, rain forests, lakes and mountains. You can get up close and personal with exotic wildlife, including gorillas, chimpanzees, lions, hyenas, leopards, hippos, colobus monkeys and much more.
The safari begins in the bustling capital city of Kampala, named the 13th fastest growing city on the planet and the portal to the heart of the savannah.
