From its towering Rwenzori Mountains to its sprawling Lake Victoria with plenty of natural parks in between, Uganda is a natural paradise. Visitors will love doing some gorilla and chimpanzee tracking in the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, or take a wildlife safari tour in Murchison Falls Natural Park for some hippo and waterfall sightings.

An amazing camping and wildlife experience! Getting from place to place could be draining at times, but being on the campsites, and experiencing the animals in the wilderness, especially gorillas, was absolutely outstanding.

Please reserve one room at hotel on last day for grouo, to have shower, changing clothes, reorganizing luggage in waiting for flight. Another company as Explore are doing like that.

We had a wonderful experience! The itinerary was really good and our CEOs Luke and Ronald were the best. There?s two things I didn?t like though. 1. Please just include all the meals during the tour and make the tour more expensive. Not including meals in places like Bwindi where there is no other restaurant option and you?re forced to eat at the lodge you?re staying at anyway is just pointless and annoying as you have to calculate the money you have to withdraw from ATMs and ends up costing you more because of high ATM fees! Either include all meals or do a breakfast/dinner included lunch optional system for people who don?t want to eat lunch 2. Kigali View Hotel. Can?t believe G Adventures picks this hotel as end point and recommends it to its guests! It was really bad. The food was horrible, the rooms smelled, the bathroom smelled. Luckily it was only one night so it was bearable but for people who wanna end on a high or who decided to stay longer that Hotel is a full disappointment! And if you decided to keep it as your end point at least clearly label it as VERY BUDGET and recommendations for nicer hotels in the area.

We?ve fallen in love with Uganda, the people, wildlife, landscapes, food, music and everything in between. Seeing mountain gorillas and chimpanzees in the wild are memories we?ll cherish forever and we loved exploring new and beautiful places like Lake Bunyonyi. The team were incredible and we?re grateful for new experiences and meeting amazing people. Couldn?t recommend more!

Having recently completed the Primates and Wildlife of Uganda trip, we woukd thoroughly recommend it. We were so close the chimpanzees and gorillas, that even now it is hard to believe that we have been in such close proximity to these amazing mammals. We were very impressed with our guide Julius, who was very attentive and informative. Nothing was too much trouble for him. We were also so fortunate enough to see lions, antelope, buffalo, elephants, hippos, wild pigs, warthogs, crocodile, monkeys, and much birdlife. It was an excellent trip, no regrets at all.

I thoroughly enjoyed this trip. We saw the highlights of East Africa over an amazing 3 weeks, and the memories will last a lifetime. The G Adventures staff were amazing as always, and were one of the highlights of my holiday.

Uganda Tours — Highlights and Travel Tips

Uganda was given the title of 'Pearl of Africa' by Winston Churchill for the simple reason that it presents some of the most unique sights in the African continent, despite its relatively small size. A nature lover’s paradise, Uganda is particularly famous as home to Lake Victoria, the largest tropical lake on the planet. The African Great Lakes also ensure the presence of all kinds of landscapes and wildlife and Mount Elgon affording those on a trip to Uganda views to die for. 

The country has managed to emerge from the dark and transformed into one of the most beautiful countries of Africa. It still gets a rap for its anti-gay sentiments, but the country is still among the safest travel destinations in the continent. 

 

Tour Highlights

  • Look for gorillas in Bwindi National Park
  • Straddle the equator in Kayabwe
  • Go white water rafting on the White Nile
  • Experience the breathtaking rapids of Bujagali Falls
  • Go chimpanzee trekking in Kibale National Park
  • Canoe from island to island across Lake Bunyonyi

Travel Tips

  • Be prepared to pay for your entry tourist visa to Uganda, which costs about USD 50. The visa can be paid upon entering the country, or online before you travel.
  • The term “mzungu” means ‘white person’, and any white-skinned visitors to Uganda should expect to hear this called out to them regularly as they roam the streets. This is not necessarily a sign of disrespect, and should be embraced!
  • Uganda is a fairly conservative country. Avoid touching members of the opposite sex in public, and women should dress modestly when holidaying in Uganda. This is especially true in busy cities.
  • Be sure to ask your doctor for malaria tablets before travelling to Uganda to avoid being exposed to the mosquito-borne disease.
  • The use of credit cards is limited in Uganda. If you’re lucky enough to find a shop that allows card payment, expect to pay a fee of around 5%. Be sure to always carry some cash, US dollars being the currency of choice.

Uganda has seasonal weather so please do check up on the best time to visit Uganda before planning your tour. And if you’re still hunting for more things to do and places to explore in Uganda, do check out our Uganda Travel Guide for more information.
