Uganda

Uganda: the green pearl of Africa. It's not green for nothing. The country has abundant water resources in many different forms. Crater Lakes, rivers, swamps and do not forget the humid climate in the tropical rainforest.

From the vast Lake Victoria to the wild waterfalls of the White Nile. All that water provides an abundance of wildlife. It is a beautiful, fertile and varied land. The densely forested mountains and waterfalls in the West and the vast green grasslands in the south offer a great contrast.

Uganda is famous for its many monkeys living there

Uganda is famous for its many monkeys living there. Some safaris will bring you face to face with mountain gorillas or go searching for chimpanzees and baboons. In the Kibale Forest National Park alone there are already eleven primate species.
Very exclusive are the guided walks on the Ngamba Island in Lake Victoria. There you can visit the chimp up close during feeding time in a very select group of two to three people.

High in the mountains, in the tropical rainforest of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, lives more than half the world population of mountain gorillas. You will visit the chimpanzees of Kibale Forest. BMS-Travellers will take you through the dense rainforest and you meet these intelligent animals.

Walking safaris in Uganda

An encounter with mountain gorillas stands in the top three of exclusive walking safaris in Uganda. To protect the world of these rare animals, there is a very limited number of permits per day. With a small group of people with two guides you make the beautiful but challenging hike through the forest. Its duration depends on where the giant silverback and his group at that time are staying. If you see them, you can see them very closely. You feel that you are noticed and that at some primal level there is a tacit but significant contact. Many people call this gorilla safari the most unforgettable experience...
