Uganda the Pearl of Africa is among the most diversified countries on the African continent. With its tremendous diversity of scenery, culture, and animals, this region is ideal for an authentic trip. No two days in Uganda are the same, from the wildlife-rich savannah plains to the glacier-covered highlands, from chasing chimps in the rainforest to dashing down the great Nile’s rapids.
Lions, elephants, buffalo, giraffes, leopards, hyenas, hippos, zebras, the peculiar Ugandan kob, and many more animals live on Uganda’s savannah plains in national parks. Uganda has 24 monkey species that inhabit its woods, ranging from nocturnal galagos to golden monkeys and endangered mountain gorillas. In addition to a diverse range of animals, Uganda is one of the world’s most bird-rich countries, with over 1000 bird species including the prehistoric-looking Shoebill and the Great Blue Turaco.
Over 45 tribes reflect Uganda’s unique culture, which includes a diverse range of languages and dialects, meals, clothing, rituals, and beliefs. Unique and carefully planned activities promote actual contact with communities and provide remarkable immersion experiences. Mountain biking, volcano trekking, and kayaking or rafting are all options for more adventurous travellers!

Where to stay: Find the best accommodations in stunning locations.
All In Africa Safaris headquarters are located in Uganda, allowing us to carefully choose the best lodging alternatives available in the nation. Regardless of the price of the lodgings, we prioritise providing a high level of service to ensure a comfortable stay. To deliver the ultimate Africa experience, we seek to partner with small-scale lodges in intimate settings and excellent locations wherever feasible.
Optimal travel season and year-round appeal.
Uganda is an excellent spot to visit all year round. The low season is regarded as being March to May and September to November, whereas the high season is June to August and December to February. In general, travellers are few during the low seasons, making it an intriguing time to explore. In addition, some lodges offer discounts during the off-season, which is ideal if you want to save money. High seasons are popular travel months, but Uganda is still a relatively unknown location, so there are rarely large crowds.
In terms of weather, it is considered that Uganda receives more rain in the low season and experiences more drought in the high season. In recent years, however, we have discovered that the seasons are no longer trustworthy since we get rainfall during the ‘dry season’ and dry spells during the ‘rainy season’. Uganda enjoys lots of sunshine throughout the year, regardless of the season. When travelling to higher altitudes, such as Bwindi Forest, be prepared for cold weather, especially overnight.
Permit availability.
It’s vital to note that gorilla tracking permits sell out rapidly throughout July and August. We recommend securing your permissions at least six months in advance.
