The Kanyanchu Primate Walking is Kibale's most loved activity. There are 13 species to be found, with a variety of diurnal monkeys. But the stars of the trail are the chimpanzees.

Queen Elizabeth National Park in Uganda is undoubtedly the most visited tourist spot.

This makes it an ideal place to see ten primate species, including chimpanzees, and more than 600 bird species.

Murchison Falls National park is located at the northern end the Albertine Rift Valley. Here the Bunyoro escarpment tumbles to vast, palm-dotted Savanna. It was first designated a game reserve in Uganda in 1926.
Explore DestinationJinja
Jinja is the adventure capital of Uganda. It is the perfect place to go white-water rafting, bungee jumping or gentle horse riding or fishing and feel the spirit of the mysterious River Nile , the birdlife is prolific.
Explore DestinationKidepo Valley
Kidepo Valley National Park is located in semi-arid, rugged valleys between Uganda and south Sudan's borders in the north west. It is only 5km from Kenya's eastern border, which is approximately 700km from Kampala. It was designated a national park in 1962. It is home to a variety of big game as well as more than 77 mammal species. Kidepo is Uganda’s most remote national park. But those who travel north through the frontier region of Karamoja will agree that it is also one of the most beautiful in Africa. Kidepo is a wilderness among the best in Africa. A savannah landscape extends from Apoka in the middle of the park to distant mountain ranges. The only water that is permanent in the park during dry seasons can be found in the wetlands and remnant pools of the Narus Valley, near Apoka. These seasonal oases, combined with the open, savannah terrain, make the Narus Valley the park's prime game viewing location especially with its dense populations of Lion,Buffalos,Elephant and many similar ungulates.

The Pearl of Africa is blessed by an unmistakable natural beauty. The Rwenzori peaks in the west reach towards the heavens. This is the ideal challenge for brave explorers. Parks all across the country are home to some of the most exotic animals in the world: Lions, Gorillas, and many others.
This unique chance to view gorillas in the wild is amazing. Many people say it has changed their lives. The encounters with gorillas in their natural habitat are carefully managed by expert trackers and guides who lead small groups up bamboo-covered slopes for a special and inspiring hour or more.
The gorilla is the largest living primate and can be found throughout much of the equatorial African forest. The species can be broadly divided into mountain gorillas or lowland gorillas.
The mountain gorilla is found in the volcanic range which stretches across Rwanda and Uganda.
The latest count shows that there are about 1,000 mountain gorillas living in the wild and 604 in Virunga Massif. The governments, communities, NGOs and other organizations are working together to increase the population.
While the composition of the troops is fluid, they tend not to move beyond a particular area. They are monitored by park rangers and protected at all times. Visitors can only come in contact with them for one hour each day.
The Bwindi National park headquarters is where visitors gather at 7 a.m. They are given a group according to their fitness levels and briefed about the protocols and rules for visiting gorillas.
It takes anywhere from 30 minutes up to four hours to hike to their destinations. The elevation can be between 2,500m-4,000m. To carry your camera and backpack, as well to provide assistance along the way, porters are available.
