Explore by Safari Collection
Explore Uganda Safaris, Rwanda Safaris and Uganda & Rwanda Safaris through private and tailor-made journeys designed around the destinations, wildlife and experiences you want to discover. Choose a single-country safari for a focused exploration of Uganda or Rwanda, or combine both countries in one cross-border journey for a broader East African experience.
Uganda Safaris
Discover Uganda Safaris across a remarkable range of landscapes, from the rainforest of Bwindi and Kibale to the savannah plains of Murchison Falls, Queen Elizabeth and Kidepo. Private and tailor-made journeys can combine Gorilla Trekking, Chimpanzee Tracking, Wildlife Safaris, Birding Safaris, scenic lakes and Cultural Experiences around your interests and available time.
Rwanda Safaris
Explore Rwanda through the volcanic landscapes of Volcanoes National Park, the ancient rainforest of Nyungwe and the savannah wilderness of Akagera.

Uganda & Rwanda Safaris
Combine the highlights of both countries through Uganda & Rwanda Safaris designed around gorillas, chimpanzees, classic wildlife, tropical forests, volcanic landscapes, scenic lakes and Cultural Experiences. A private Uganda Rwanda safari can begin in Uganda and finish in Rwanda, or follow the opposite route, with the itinerary planned around permits, accommodation availability, border procedures and international flights.
Gorilla Trekking Safaris
Gorilla Trekking Safaris are designed around one of East Africa’s most remarkable wildlife encounters. Journeys can focus on Gorilla Trekking in Uganda or Rwanda, or combine the experience with Chimpanzee Tracking, Wildlife Safaris, scenic landscapes and Cultural Experiences. From the forests of Bwindi and Mgahinga to Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park, these safaris offer different ways to experience mountain gorillas while exploring the wider landscapes of the region.
Wildlife Safaris
Wildlife Safaris focus on classic African wildlife experiences across Uganda and Rwanda. Depending on the destination, journeys can combine Game Drives, Boat Safaris, savannah landscapes and wetlands with opportunities to see elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, lions, leopards, rhinos and other wildlife. These collections range from focused wildlife journeys to broader safaris that combine Wildlife Viewing with gorillas, chimpanzees, birding and cultural experiences.
Chimpanzee Tracking Safaris
Chimpanzee Tracking Safaris bring travellers into Uganda and Rwanda’s tropical forests for immersive primate encounters. Uganda’s Kibale National Park is a leading destination for Chimpanzee Tracking, while Rwanda’s Nyungwe National Park provides another distinctive rainforest setting. These journeys can be designed around chimpanzees or combined with Gorilla Trekking, Wildlife Safaris, birding and other forest experiences.
Birding Safaris
Explore Uganda and Rwanda’s diverse forests, wetlands, lakes, highlands and savannahs. Journeys can be planned around Birding, preferred habitats, target species, photography opportunities and the pace required for dedicated birdwatching. A specialist Birding Safari can focus exclusively on avian experiences or combine birdwatching with wildlife, primates, scenery and cultural encounters.
Cultural Safaris
Cultural Safaris add a human dimension to safari travel through locally led encounters, traditions, crafts, food, music and community activities. They can be incorporated into Uganda Safaris, Rwanda Safaris and Uganda & Rwanda Safaris alongside wildlife, primate and scenic experiences. Depending on the itinerary, travellers can explore local communities, traditional practices and cultural landscapes while gaining a deeper understanding of the people and places they encounter.
