Uganda Tours & Trips
Picture yourself sitting quietly while a mountain gorilla family just exists around you. Trek through Bwindi's thick forest for that moment, track chimps in Kibal, boat the Kazinga Channel spotting hippos, search for tree-climbing lions in Ishasha, watch Murchison Falls thunder down, spot rhinos at Ziwa, and stay in lodges where the jungle sounds never stop. Uganda's incredible.

It’s impossible to say enough good things about this trip and the service that Mukisa provides. From booking through to arriving home, they were attentive and informative. The business owner, Richard, was always quick to reply to any questions. He met me personally at the airport to welcome me and introduce me to my guide, and he met me again before my flight home to ask for feedback and thank me for coming to Uganda. Mukisa emphasises hiring female guides, and I had the absolute privilege of travelling with my guide Bridget, who is the sweetest human, a fountain of knowledge about Uganda, and just excellent at her job. As a solo female traveller it was really lovely to have a female guide, and made my experience in Uganda even better. We were accompanied by our driver, Solomon, who is a lovely man, a fantastic, safe driver, and absolutely incredible at spotting wildlife even whilst driving! The three of us had great conversations, and a lot of fun! The tour itself was fantastic- it was incredible to see so many animals (we saw all of the big five by my second day!). I booked the tour initially for the gorilla trek, which was amazing, but Uganda was so much more than I expected. The landscapes and climate are so diverse, the people so welcoming, the food delicious (make sure you eat plenty of Rolex!!). The gorilla trek is hard- make sure you have trained before your trip, as it will make the experience so much more enjoyable. Also I would suggest you hire a porter, even if you feel you don’t need one. The porters are people from the local community who only get to work as a porter once a month, and it’s important to support this as part of your visit. It also makes the trek easier, as it will be harder than you anticipate- my porter ended up helping other people who hadn’t hired anyone. The accommodation was good- a mix of hotels and safari tents, all with private bathrooms. All meals were included, I just had to pay for any drinks I wanted. Don’t hesitate to book this trip, and if it’s not quite right then contact Richard and he will happily work to tailor it for you. Honestly just the best experience. I don’t normally go to a country more than once but will definitely be looking to explore more of Uganda and Rwanda with Bridget and Solomon in the future. Thank you Mukisa!
10 Days Experience Uganda’s Exclusive Gorillas and Wildlife ( Private tour) - E
Eric • traveled in August, 2025
Our safari(s) in Uganda were executed without any issues. Our gorilla and chimpanzee treks were amazing. The choice of selected lodges based on the price points that were agreed were wonderful, and the food was superb. Frankly, 5 stars isn’t a high enough rating. Our driver and guide, Jasper, if available for your trip, is absolutely a must. His knowledge, driving skills, and personality are a 10 out of 10 and we are well traveled. Jasper was always concerned with our well being and kept a very aggressive game drive schedule on time. (We did see the African Big 5) though the walk amongst a tower, (that’s the correct term of a herd), of giraffes was as memorable as being ten feet from a silver back gorilla. Communications with Devine was prompt and am very happy with their design of this bespoke trip. Highly recommend…and endeavor to go with Jasper….even if it means changing your schedule.

I enjoyed this tour but there is some room for improvement in my opinion. There was a mixup with my hotel reservation and therefore I was required to spend my second night at a much lower quality hotel than the first night. I believe I should get a refund of some amount since I paid for two nights at the higher quality hotel. In addition, our tour van’s air conditioning did not work .my guide Alex was excellent!

Best places to start your Uganda tour
Most of our Uganda safaris kick off from Entebbe, with 76% of travelers starting here - it just makes sense given its international airport and position on Lake Victoria's shore just south of Kampala. While Kampala departures are available, Entebbe proves more practical for most visitors. You'll want to book around 55 days ahead, especially for gorilla treks since permits are limited and sell quickly in peak season. Many travelers have found great success combining their gorilla experience with chimp tracking in Kibale Forest, where you've got better than 90% chance of spotting our primate cousins. Early morning light works wonders for wildlife photos, while visits to local communities give you real insight into traditional life here. You'll find everything from high-end lodges to well-appointed tented camps, with many places actively supporting local conservation projects.

Best time to visit Uganda
- Spring 2026
Spring paints Uganda green and brings excellent wildlife viewing. Tours typically run between 8 and 15 days, mixing traditional safaris with local village visits. The 10-day option starts with white water rafting near Jinja before heading west where you'll track gorillas in Bwindi's thick forests. For something more focused, the 8-day tours explore Queen Elizabeth National Park's varied landscapes - you might catch lions lounging in fig trees or hippos cooling off in the Kazinga Channel. Our customers tell us they love how spring mornings stay clear for photos while afternoon showers keep dust levels down.

- Summer 2026
Summer lets you see Uganda's full range of wildlife and landscapes. The full 10-day safaris connect the dots from white rhinos at Ziwa to chimps in Kibale Forest and finally mountain gorillas in Bwindi. Many guests choose the 8-day wildlife tours combining Queen Elizabeth National Park game drives with gorilla encounters. The dry summer air means great visibility for spotting animals, while Uganda's high elevation keeps temperatures pleasant. Our guides plan around the heat - they'll get you out early for game drives and schedule boat trips when animals gather near the water.

- Fall / Autumn 2026
Autumn creates perfect conditions for exploring Uganda's diverse regions. Our comprehensive 10-day tours cover everything from watching hippos in the Kazinga Channel to following gorilla tracks through mountain forests. The 8-day tours focus on both primates and big cats - you'll meet gorillas and chimps while looking for lions in Queen Elizabeth National Park. For a quicker trip, 6-day tours concentrate on gorilla encounters with stops at local villages and crater lakes along the way. The mild autumn temperatures and light rains keep trails firm but not dusty, which our travelers really appreciate. Based on what our travelers tell us, two safari companies stand out in Uganda. Mukisa Safaris, run by Richard, gets consistently great feedback for how well they handle everything - from putting together custom trips to sorting things out when travel plans hit a snag. The guides there, like Veronica, Joan and also Allen, really know their stuff and help visitors connect with both the wildlife and local culture in meaningful ways. If you're watching your budget, Enchanted Uganda Safaris is worth looking into. Their lead guide Bosco has earned solid reviews for running well-organized trips that still feel personal. They manage to deliver a proper safari experience without the premium price tag that some operators charge. Both companies are reliable choices - it really comes down to your specific budget and what kind of experience you're after. Mukisa tends to be more high-end with lots of customization, while Enchanted Uganda offers good value without cutting corners on the important stuff.

- Winter 2026 / 2027
Winter in Uganda offers two main tour types that our travelers really connect with. The longer journeys run 10 days, taking you from gorilla tracking in Bwindi's forests to watching rhinos at Ziwa sanctuary and up to the rushing waters of Murchison Falls. If you're short on time, the 6-day tours zero in on primates - you'll spend quality time with gorilla families and watch chimps play through Kyambura Gorge's tree canopy. The dry winter conditions make hiking more manageable and bring wildlife closer to water sources. Our guides know the perfect spots for morning game drives when animals come out to start their day.
