Tour Overview
13 Day Uganda Overland Safari
“The Pearl of Africa” – Uganda offers a unique diversity of wildlife, natural beauty, and friendly inhabitants that all combine to make the country one of Africa’s hidden gems. This tour includes the obvious attractions of trekking in indigenous forests to see wild Gorilla’s and Chimpanzee’s, as well as exploring vast water-ways, mystical villages hidden in mist, and the lesser known sights of Tree Climbing Lions, huge pods of Hippopotamus, and of course the endless variety of plains animals. This tour endeavors to explore the scenic beauty of Uganda, its people, and its wildlife. We will cover approx. 2000km, some of it on extremely bad roads but the rewards are unequaled.
