Uganda Safari Things to Do

Uganda Safaris offer a wide variety of things to do; whether you are an adventurer or simply looking for wildlife focused trips, there is something for everyone. Most travelers to Uganda come to trek mountain gorillas, but for those that seem to differ, there is still a lot that your safari in Uganda will offer

One of the most sought-after safari activities in Uganda is gorilla trekking. Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park are home to more than half of the world's remaining mountain gorillas.

Gorilla Trekking safaris in Uganda offer an opportunity to observe mountain gorillas in their natural habitat, witnessing their daily lives, behaviors, and social structures up close. Treks usually start early in the morning with a briefing by park rangers who guide small groups through challenging, often steep and muddy terrain.

As you hike through the forest, the anticipation builds, until finally, you encounter a gorilla family. The sight is nothing short of breathtaking. You'll see silverbacks (dominant males), females, and playful juveniles and infants. Contrary to their false reputation as the marauding apes, these are in fact very docile and easygoing animals often also known as the gentle giants. Mountain Gorilla Trekking is an experience only Uganda safaris and tours will offer among other few African safari destinations. You will not find these endangered mountain gorillas in any zoo as they do not survive in captivity.

Best Time for Birding in Uganda

Uganda is a year-round birding destination, but the best times for birding safaris are during the dry seasons: from late May to September and December to February.

What to See When:

May to September

This is the prime time for birdwatching, especially in the national parks. Migratory birds from Europe and northern Africa can be seen during this period. Key species to look out for include the African Green Broadbill, Green-breasted Pitta, and the Shoebill.

December to February

Another excellent window for birding, this period is perfect for exploring the wetlands and water bodies of Uganda. You'll likely spot species such as the White-winged Warbler, Papyrus Gonolek, and various kingfishers.

April and November

While these months can be wetter, they are also very rewarding for birders who don't mind a bit of rain. It's the breeding season for many resident birds, and you might be lucky to witness courtship displays and hear beautiful bird songs. Species to see include the African Pitta, the Great Blue Turaco, and the Ross's Turaco.
