One of the attractions of a Uganda safari is the chance to follow and see critically endangered mountain gorillas. Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is home to around half of the world's remaining wild gorilla population, providing an unprecedented opportunity to observe these majestic creatures up close in their native environment. Spending time with a gorilla family and seeing their behaviour and relationships is an unforgettable experience.

Chimpanzees are another primate species that can be seen on a Uganda safari. Kibale National Park is well-known for its large chimpanzee population, and visitors can hike into the jungle to witness these clever and playful primates. The opportunity to observe chimps in their natural habitat, swinging through the trees and interacting with one another, is a fascinating and humbling experience.

Uganda is also home to the renowned tree-climbing lions of Queen Elizabeth National Park. These one-of-a-kind lions have taken on the uncommon activity of climbing trees, making for a very spectacular spectacle. Safaris in this national park allow you to see these gorgeous beasts in action, as well as other incredible species including elephants, giraffes, and buffalo.

The country has a variety of bird-rich habitats, such as wetlands, woodlands, and savannas. Exploring Uganda's rich birds is an unforgettable experience and dedicated birding expeditions can be organized to increase your chances of encountering rare and elusive species.
