Mountain Gorillas
Enter the ancient forests of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park for one of Africa’s most remarkable wildlife encounters: tracking endangered mountain gorillas through their natural habitat.
Uganda Safaris
Discover Uganda, the Pearl of Africa
Uganda is a country of extraordinary contrasts: mist-covered rainforests, open savannah, snow-capped mountains, crater lakes, powerful rivers and communities whose cultures are woven deeply into the landscape.
An Uganda safari gives you the opportunity to experience many sides of Africa in one journey. You can trek through ancient rainforest in search of mountain gorillas, follow chimpanzees beneath the canopy of Kibale, watch elephants cross the savannah, cruise along the Kazinga Channel or stand beside the mighty Murchison Falls.
At Africa Classic Safaris, we design journeys that bring these experiences together naturally, creating a safari that feels personal rather than predetermined.
Why Choose Uganda for Your Safari?
Uganda offers an exceptional combination of primates, wildlife, landscapes and cultural experiences.

From the open plains of Queen Elizabeth National Park to the vast wilderness of Murchison Falls and the remote landscapes of Kidepo Valley, Uganda offers diverse opportunities to encounter elephants, lions, buffalo, hippos and many other species.
Landscapes & Waterways
