Top things to do in Uganda
Go bird watching, meet the rare mountain gorilla and track chimps in Kibale Forest.
Here are the top things to do on a Uganda holiday, as chosen by our Africa specialists.
Go bird watching
With over 1,000 recorded species of birds, Uganda is a birder’s paradise. Search for the iconic Shoebill, the standard-winged Nightjar and a number of other endemic species.
Meet the rare mountain gorilla
Trek to one of the gorilla groups in Bwindi National Park, where you can observe them at close quarters in what is truly an emotional experience.
See Murchison Falls
See the world’s most powerful waterfall at Murchison Falls, where the Nile is forced through a narrow gap in the rock before ferociously plunging down 43 meters.
Spot lions in trees
Queen Elizabeth National Park is home to a pride of tree climbing lions that live in the area – one of only two lion populations in the world that climb trees.
Track chimps in Kibale Forest
In Kibale National Park, track habituated chimps, and then watch as they squabble and play in fruiting trees.
