Uganda Safari Tours & Packages: Gorilla Trekking, Wildlife and More

Uganda earned Winston Churchill's nickname, "the Pearl of Africa," for a reason most safari-goers never expect: variety. In a single trip you can track a mountain gorilla family through dense highland forest, cruise a channel thick with hippos, watch lions rest in the branches of a fig tree, and stand where the Nile forces itself through a seven-meter gorge with enough power to shake the ground beneath you. Few countries this size hold this many ecosystems — or this much wildlife.
At Jairos Adventure, we build Uganda itineraries around how you actually want to travel, not a fixed template.

Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest

Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is home to roughly half the world's remaining mountain gorillas. We secure permits early — they're limited and sell out months ahead in peak season (July–September and December–February) — and pair your trek with the right lodge for your budget, from community guesthouses to award-winning eco-lodges on the forest edge.

Beyond the Famous Five

Everyone knows Bwindi and Murchison Falls. Fewer travelers make it to Kidepo Valley, one of Africa's most remote and least crowded parks, where you can go a full day without seeing another vehicle. We can build your trip around these quieter corners of the country if that's what you're after.

Uganda Safaris for Every Budget

Whether you want a luxury lodge with a private plunge pool overlooking a crater lake, a budget-conscious group safari that still gets you eight feet from a silverback, or a physically demanding trek up the glaciated Rwenzori Mountains, we tailor the pace, comfort level, and route to match. Uganda safaris typically range from $150–$250 per person per day for budget and mid-range trips, up to $500+ per day for luxury lodges and private guiding.

Responsible Travel

Gorilla permit fees directly fund ranger patrols and community programs that brought mountain gorillas back from the edge of extinction. We can also arrange visits to Batwa communities and local cooperatives near the parks, so part of your trip gives back directly.
