Untamed Wildlife, Rivers & Open Horizons
Our classic wildlife safaris are carefully designed to showcase Uganda’s finest national parks at unhurried pacing. From the thunderous cleft of Murchison Falls where the entire Nile plunges 43 meters, to the rich savanna plains and hippo-filled waters of Queen Elizabeth National Park, and the acacia woodland of Lake Mburo National Park.
Whether planning a quick weekend getaway from Kampala or a multi-day Big Five exploration with on-foot rhino tracking at Ziwa Sanctuary and chimpanzee tracking in Budongo Forest, every trip is conducted in private 4WD safari jeeps with pop-up photographic roofs driven by accredited USAGA guides.
