The 7 Days Uganda Safari: Rhino, Chimpanzee & Gorilla Safari Adventure Holiday will take you to yet exciting encounters with the different wildlife, primates, and Gorillas of Uganda’s national parks like Murchison Falls National Park, Kibale National Park, and Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. You will have a comprehensive and unforgettable experience while on this Safari since you will have an opportunity to see various wildlife in their natural habitats like Lions, Giraffes, Warthogs, Leopards, Elephants, Buffaloes, Bush bucks, Jackals, Gentle Giants (Mountain Gorillas), Primates like the black and white colobus monkeys, red-tailed monkeys, red colobus monkeys, L’Hoest monkeys, and also the fascinating lush forests which offer stunning rare Natural beauty.
The best time to visit Uganda is from June to August and December to February, which are the Dry seasons. Wildlife viewing is at its peak then. Primate walks in the forest are a big part of any safari in Uganda. The habitat of rainforests is, by default, very wet, and you can’t avoid rain completely. However, after heavy rain, the skies often open up to bright sunshine.
Uganda is a safe country to visit, especially when your part of an organized game drive with private guides, as you will be with us. These tours are designed to enhance your safety and provide you with a well-guided experience. There are, of course, some places to avoid in big cities like Kampala or Entebbe. But – as with everywhere else in the world – you’ll be fine by taking some precautions. Just some examples to be on the safe side, pun intended, don’t explore the city at night without a driver or guide, keep your valuables close to you, avoid wearing prominent and visible jewelry, and leave some things like passports in the hotel safe.
This is an exclusive, private safari that allows you to travel at your own pace. This trip is made just for you, exactly as you want it! Our experienced travel consultants, along with our knowledgeable guides, will make sure that your wishes come true. There are numerous advantages to such a trip. First, you can cruise around in a private safari vehicle and have a personal guide. It’s completely up to you what time you leave in the morning and when you come back (taking into account your guide’s advice, of course). Secondly, once you’re in a national park, you can observe specific animals or herds for as long as you like. No one will push you to move along. And lastly, knowing your wishes, your personal guide will give you the right tips, turning your trip into an unforgettable experience in Africa.
