Ugandan Safaris - Savannah Explore Limited

Safaris in uganda

Uganda’s savannah safari destinations are beautiful, immensely valuable, and extraordinary wildlife encounters that complement a forest adventure or mountain hike perfectly. Each of Uganda’s savannah safari destinations are different and will bring a unique experience to an itinerary.

Introduction

Part of what makes Uganda such a special place to visit is its diversity of wildlife experiences within such a small region. The southwestern corner of Uganda is not only famous for its gorilla and chimpanzee populations, but there are 3 savannah safari parks in the area that can easily be combined with a primate safari with a short 2-hour drive. The result is that even a short 7-10 day itinerary can combine gorilla trekking and chimp trekking with classic savannah safaris where you’ll find elephants, giraffes, lions, leopards, zebras, antelopes, and buffalo – to name just a few.

The lay of the land

In the southwest of Uganda, there are 3 savannah safari parks: Queen Elizabeth National Park, Lake Mburo National Park, and Semliki Valley. These parks can easily be combined with gorilla trekking in Bwindi or Mgahinga and/or chimpanzee trekking in Kibale Forest in just a few hours drive making them very popular options. Outside the southwestern pocket, there are two savannah parks: Murchison Falls National Park and Kidepo Valley National Park. Kidepo is in the far north of the country, and is typically reserved for itineraries beyond 7-10 days or for travellers with specific interests. Murchison Falls is one of the best safari destinations in the country, and is often combined with the south-western parks.

In addition to all of this he has a good tatse in music, which proved to be of importance during our hours in the car. Thank you Ben for making or trip unforgettable

This was the BEST unique experience EVER!. Our tour guide (Ben) is the most kind, patient, helpful, supportive person i have ever met. He's my friend now. He always stood for us all the way, NEVER left us alone from airport to airport. Always sharing good attitude and the best advice all the way. All my experience in Africa with Savannah Explore Africa was worth every penny. Never Hesitate to contact Ben if you are planning to go to any African experience. 100% recommended!

We were guided by Ben during a two week in July 2023 in Uganda. We had a great time also due to the acknowledgeable and friendly guide Ben turned out to be. We have always felt comfortable and safe during the whole trip. We do look back to a wonderful experience.
