Uganda’s soubriquet- “the Pearl of Africa” was coined by Winton Churchill in 1908 to describe its unmatched natural beauty, variety, and natural wealth of the land, but it can be equally applied to the richness of safari experiences on offer. This country provides something for everyone: Whether your interests are gourmand, you will find much to delight you in the country. Take a walk in the wild as you exercise your wildlife tracking skills on foot, or drop down a gear and take time to smell the breathtaking displays of exotic flora.

With 10 of Uganda’s National Parks and 12 Wildlife Reserves being particularly known for one wildlife species or another, Mum and Dad Uganda Tours can customize your safari based on the wildlife you wish to see. Whichever of Uganda’s best safari experiences appeal to you most, we can make them happen for you.

Rhino tracking in Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary#Discovering Uganda’s best safari experience

Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary’s commitment to the conservation of southern white Rhinos in the wild comes alive when you spend one to three hours Rhino tracking with its seasoned Ranger guides and trackers. The southern White Rhinos, unlike Black Rhinos, can be approached safely on foot, leading to unforgettable encounters with these creatures that appear armor-plated but are in fact near-threatened and vulnerable to humans. Rhino tracking is one of Uganda’s best safari experiences.

Gorilla trekking#Discovering Uganda’s best safari experience

With two amazing gorilla trekking locations, Uganda has incredibly high concentrations of Giant Apes (mountain gorillas) in their natural habitats. Bwindi Impenetrable National Park has almost half the World’s population of these Giant Apes and there are over 20 habituated gorilla families scattered across its four trekking sectors/regions. Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, the smallest Protected Area in the country has only one habituated gorilla family but perfectly complements heading out in the bamboo zone for closer encounters with Golden monkeys. Gorilla treks provide the chance to walk through unique natural habitats, hence culminating in one hour of observing and taking photos of these Giant Apes as they go about their day-to-day routines.

Seeing endangered chimpanzees in the wild

With over four unmissable chimpanzee locations (Kibale National Park, Budongo Forest, Kyambura Gorge, and Kalinzu Forest), Uganda has more than enough space for mankind’s closest relatives in the animal Kingdom to flourish, as you will see on a typical guided walk. These Great Apes explore various tree species when not roaming on the ground, which makes it exciting to sight during guided chimp treks.

Going on a wildlife safari

Uganda has four incredible savannah-dominated National Parks- Murchison Falls, Kidepo Valley, Lake Mburo, and Queen Elizabeth National Park, which are home to wonderful wildlife species that vary according to which one you visit. Be sure to see Rothschild giraffes, Burchell’s zebras, Topis, Defassa waterbucks, Uganda Kobs, Impalas, Topis, Lions, leopards, cheetahs, elands, bushbucks, and others. One of Uganda’s best safari experiences, a wildlife safari in this stunning country puts you in touch with an ancient African landscape unspoiled by human activity.

Drifting over Murchison Falls National Park in a hot-air balloon

A Murchison Falls balloon safari is another of Uganda’s best safari experiences and one of those dream-like adventures that you will share with your friends back home. This experience provides the ultimate “romantic Africa” moment as you get suspended in a wicker basket above the wild savannah plains of Africa with the African sun peeping over the Horizon and a waking wilderness below you. A hot air balloon safari is a perfect wildlife viewing experience like you have never experienced before.

Cruising the Victoria Nile and Kazinga Channel

Instead of a traditional game drive, how about an indelible aquatic trip on a Kazinga Channel and Victoria Nile boat is one of Uganda’s best safari experiences. Murchison Falls and Queen Elizabeth National Parks are prime wildlife destinations and the water dimension adds immensely to your safari experience with unforgettable sightings of Hippos, Nile crocodiles, African bush elephants, Cape buffaloes, and a myriad of bird species.

Learning the ways of the Karamojong warrior

At Apoka Safari Lodge or any other accommodation, visitors can take a break from the unfettered comfort and relish a different kind of safari experience. Get a chance to join the Karamojong warriors to learn about the ways of this pastoralist tribe with a “Karamojong” as a guide.

Making footprints across different natural habitats

A visit to any of Uganda’s National Parks and Wildlife Reserves allows nature enthusiasts the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to explore the wilderness or jungle on foot. As well as seeing some of the hidden details often missed in a game drive safari vehicle, a nature walking safari provides the chance to appreciate the scale and to experience the freedom of the various natural habitats. This is one of Uganda’s unmissable safari experiences.
