“We took our trip with very high expectations - and those expectations were exceeded. The sights we saw; the places we visited; the animals we experienced close up in their natural habitat; the people we met; the execution of details and surprises... ROAR AFRICA really over delivered and we couldn’t be happier. The trip was absolutely seamless and truly a one in a lifetime, although we fell in love with Africa and may well return.”

Experience a Uganda luxury safari
Located at the confluence of East and West Africa, Uganda’s landscape transforms from lush rainforest filled with mountain gorillas, chimpanzees and rare primates like L’Hoest’s monkeys, to arid savannah that is home to a large variety of plains game, forest elephants and the like.
A luxury gorilla trek is often the highlight of a journey to Uganda, the primate-friendly forests one of just three places in the world to see critically endangered mountain gorillas in their natural habitat (the other two being Rwanda and DRC). Coming eye to eye with these incredible primates, who share 98% of our DNA, will leave you awestruck and forever changed.
Elsewhere, a Uganda safari promises a blend of diverse landscapes and experiences. Explore the banks of the Nile River, tracing its course to Murchison Falls where the mighty river is squeezed through a 20-foot gap, the cascading waters creating a thunderous symphony; delight in game drives through the wilderness of Queen Elizabeth National Park, the varied savannah and wetland terrain providing refuge for 95 species of mammals; or track chimpanzee and rare primates like pottos and galagos in the forests of Kibale.
Uganda safari experiences
Uganda safaris are for those who are ready to go off the beaten path and revel in the nature the country has to offer…
Gorilla trekking
Venture deep into the forests on a gorilla trekking expedition to encounter the world’s last remaining mountain gorillas in their mist swirled homes. Watching the gorilla families interact, eat, play and groom is a deeply moving experience.
Forest walks
Immerse yourself in the heart of Uganda’s pristine forests, guided by expert naturalists. Amid the towering hardwood trees of Bwindi alone, there are 200 tree species, 1,000 exotic flowering plants and countless butterflies to see, as well as rare birds like the African green broadbill and Shelley’s crimson wing.
Chimpanzee trekking & habituation experiences
Trace the footsteps of chimpanzees in Kibale National Park, the “Primate Capital of the World” or in the spectacular Kyambura Gorge. Once located, you’ll watch these highly sentient primates forage, groom, interact and display their dynamic social structures, their hooting calls echoing through the forest.
Game drives
Set out on thrilling game drives through the vast landscapes of Uganda’s national parks, where luxury meets the untamed. You’ll have the chance to see iconic animals like elephants, lions, hippos and crocodiles, as well as rarer species – forest buffalo, golden monkeys and sometimes, leopard.
Wetland excursions
The serene beauty of Uganda’s wetlands beckons. Glide through the tranquil waterways and papyrus channels on guided wetland excursions on your own luxury boat, spotting fluttering malachite kingfishers, herons and jacanas as well as cheeky colobus monkeys jumping from tree to tree and elephant on the banks.
Rare shoebill storks
With their enormous, shoe-formed bills and statuesque composure, spotting a shoebill stork in the wild is akin to stumbling across a prehistoric creature. A rare and acclaimed sighting, you'll find the birds in the marshy wetland areas of Uganda.
This tiny landlocked country lays claim to Africa’s largest lake, part of its highest mountain range and the source of the world’s longest river. We also like that it’s somewhat off the beaten track.
