Not sure where to go?
01
Start with your must-see wildlife
Gorillas, chimps, lions, elephants, birds or mountain scenery each point to a different route.
02
Match the route to your days
Short trips need tighter geography. Longer safaris can connect northern, western and southwestern Uganda.
03
Plan permits early
Gorilla and chimpanzee permits shape the best dates, lodges and transfers.
