This is the tour showcasing the essence of tropical Africa. Called the ‘Pearl of Africa’, Uganda, full of natural treasures, lives up to the name with its abundance of wildlife and the sheer variety of landscapes! Uganda is home to Africa’s tallest mountain range (the snow-capped Rwenzoris), the source of the Nile, the world’s longest river and the continent’s largest lake (Lake Victoria). With nearly 10% of all the bird species in the world and nearly 50% of Africa’s bird and butterfly species, Uganda has more avian species per sq kilometer than anywhere else in the world – a true haven for Bird enthusiasts.

The Big 5 – Yes! That is a given, but with a bit of panache. Here you will get a chance to see the unique tree-climbing lions of Ishasha. But the highlight of the trip to Uganda has to be the ‘Primate encounters’ – especially the endangered ‘fearsome’ looking Mountain Gorillas and the Chimpanzees. Spending time in close proximity to a family of Mountain Gorillas would surely rate as best wildlife experiences possible– a bucket list item!

There are multiple ways to experience this wildlife haven; come on a standard group tour with us or else we would be delighted to curate a tour for you as per your preferences.

Cost On Request

This is a standard itinerary with most of the important experiences Uganda has to offer with stays in mid range lodges. The cost excludes the Primate experience permits – $ 900 / person. The prices are quoted per person for a group of minimum 4 people on twin sharing basis. We would be happy to speak to you to take you through the varied options and curate an itinerary as per your preferences including making an itinerary to suit your budget.

The adventurous West! On this trip, cover all the essentials of Madagascar – the lemurs, the massive baobabs and the spectacular and unearthly ‘stone forests’. Like all of Madagascar, transportation can be an adventure and here one can opt for an adventure camping journey by a river boat (or canoes) as well (instead of a flight). This is the hot dry area of Madagascar in the western shadow of the Highlands. Here, climb the UNESCO World heritage site of the Tsingy ‘Stone forests’ of Tsingy de Bemaraha, visit the wetlands and salt mines, take a Mangrove tour, take the Instagram worthy photo of the Avenue of Baobabs at sunset and wander around the biologically rich forest of Kirindy Private reserve!
