Do you want to experience different cultures, gorilla trekking, wildlife safaris, or birdwatching? Indeed, Uganda is the greatest place to visit in Africa!  Primate trekking, big game safaris, birdwatching, hiking and mountaineering, and cultural tours in East Africa are just a few of the genuine Uganda safaris that Gera Gera Safaris takes pride in organizing.

We provide you with information about the most common activities that most tourists engage in while on a safari in Uganda.

Gorilla trekking: Those who are considering safaris in Uganda should make sure they don’t miss the opportunity to track mountain gorillas. The two national parks where the activity is conducted are Mgahinga Gorilla National Park and Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Because gorilla permits are in high demand, we advise purchasing one at least six months before you intend to engage in this activity. It appears to be a worthwhile yet pricey experience! Before heading back to the starting point, trackers are permitted to spend an entire hour with the gorillas to see how they engage with the families. Nonetheless, if you would like to spend more time with the gorillas, you can reserve a gorilla habituation experience in the Rushaga sector.

Chimpanzee trekking: Chimpanzee tracking takes place in Uganda’s designated deep tropical forests, including Kyambura Gorge, Budongo Forest, Kibale Forest, and Kalinzu Forest. Chimpanzees are permitted to spend an entire hour with people, just as mountain gorillas. The cost of chimpanzee licenses in Uganda varies according to the tracking location.

Game drives: Those who arrange safaris in Uganda frequently go on morning, evening, and nighttime game drives in a number of savannah national parks in an attempt to spot the big five. Lions, leopards, elephants, buffaloes, Uganda kobs, zebras, and giraffes are among the creatures that are frequently sighted. Consider visiting Kidepo Valley National Park, Murchison Falls National Park, Queen Elizabeth National Park, and Lake Mburo National Park if you’re searching for fantastic game drives.

If you are seeking for the ideal time to visit Uganda for safaris, we recommend that the dry months from June to August and December to February are the best for wildlife watching possibilities. Additionally, there is an abundance of sunshine throughout this time, but during the rainier months of March, April, May, and October, there is a chance that rain will block roads and ruin your monkey trekking trip.
