It's conservation history dates back to 1926 when the area was known as the Gulu and Bunyoro Game Reserve.

Uganda Tour Selection Trips

  • Be sure to book with a reliable licensed tour operator, especially if you want to see mountain gorillas. Experienced guides know where the gorillas are likely to be on any given day.
  • It can take up to six hours to find gorillas in the steep rainforest, making it a physically challenging expedition, with chimpanzees even more elusive..
  • Itineraries allowing multiple days for chances to find the gorillas and chimpanzees -- who are wild, after all -- will offer a more relaxed pace and insure you get the quality face/lens time you want with these magnificent cousins.
  • Permits to track mountain gorillas are expensive, so check to see if they’re included in the price of your safari to avoid unpleasant surprises.
  • Roads in Uganda can range from bad to worse.  Be prepared for back-twisting, neck-jarring rides -- and if you’re susceptible to motion sickness, take along some medication.
  • Accommodations can be comfortable but quite basic. A shower may mean hot water poured into a roof-top bucket which drips down upon you below.  Make sure your lodgings meet your minimum comfort level.
  • Because they operate on solar power, jungle lodges and tent camps may have limited – or no -- facilities for charging camera, computer or other types of batteries. Take along extras and keep them charged at every opportunity..
  • While Uganda’s climate is generally equatorial, it can change quickly at higher altitudes. Check the typical temperature range and rainfall where you’re going – then come prepared for unexpected changes.
  • Take along an adequate supply of prescription drugs and anything else that you will, or may, need for your health or comfort, because you may not find them in Uganda.
  • Kidepo National Park near the South Sudan border is remote enough to be one of Africa’s best kept secrets, with savannah, mountains, and lots of wildlife; not every guided trip goes there, so check your tour operator’s itinerary if it’s on your must-do list.
  • White water rafting on the White Nile can be an adrenaline blast, but it’s not offered on all itineraries; check different operators to see if their style is sedate cruising or action-oriented.

Best Time to Visit Uganda

Since the temperatures are fairly consistent year around Uganda is a travel destination that can be visited any time of the year. 

Packing List for Uganda

Uganda is situated on the equator, which means a lot of hot weather and rain, sometimes both at the same time. Pack light clothes, like cotton shirts, tees and a khakis. A sweater for the chilly nights.

A backpack for your daily adventures. A pair of good shoes that you can hike with, a bathing suit, a pair of sunglasses, and of course a camera to capture the amazing wildlife.
