Uganda & Rwanda Travel Resources
Planning a safari involves more than choosing a destination and booking accommodation. The right information can help you understand the experiences available, compare destinations, choose a suitable safari package and prepare for your journey. Our Uganda and Rwanda travel resources bring together useful information for travellers interested in gorilla trekking, chimpanzee tracking, wildlife safaris, birding, cultural experiences and tailor-made journeys. Explore our destination and safari guides, browse available packages and find practical information to help you prepare for travel.
Explore Uganda & Rwanda Travel Resources
Uganda and Rwanda offer different but highly complementary safari experiences. Uganda Destinations provide opportunities to combine mountain gorillas, chimpanzees, wildlife, birding, scenic landscapes and cultural experiences across a wider circuit. Rwanda Destinations offer a more compact journey connecting gorilla trekking, rainforest experiences, savannah wildlife, lakes and Kigali. Start by exploring the destinations that interest you and consider how different national parks and regions can be combined into one journey.
Discover Safari Collections
Every safari can be built around one experience or a combination of several. Gorilla trekking may be the centrepiece of a journey, while chimpanzee tracking, wildlife viewing, birding, boat safaris, cultural experiences and scenic exploration can add variety. Our safari collections help you explore journeys according to the experiences that interest you most.
Find the Right Safari Package
Our Safari Packages page brings together available Uganda and Rwanda journeys in one place. Use the package filters to explore trips by destination, experience, travel style, preferred accommodation collection or duration. You can begin with an existing itinerary and use it as a starting point for your journey. Some travellers may prefer a focused gorilla trekking safari, while others may want to combine several national parks and experiences over a longer period.
Choose How You Want to Travel
A safari can be arranged around different travel preferences. Some travellers prefer the flexibility of Private Safaris following an established itinerary, while Tailor-Made Safaris allow a journey to be shaped around particular destinations, accommodation preferences and available time. You can also explore Honeymoon Safaris, Family Safaris and Fly-In Safaris to find a travel style that best matches the kind of journey you are planning.
