A Preview of the Adventure

Primates & the Big 5

During your Uganda round trip you discover the unparalleled biodiversity of this tropical paradise. You travel from the Lake Victoria to the mountains of the Virunga volcanic chain, where the air is full of the sound of birds and the roar of lions in the distance.

In Queen Elizabeth National Park you sail over the Kazinga Channel between herds of buffaloes and hippos, while crocodiles lie lazily sunbathing on the shore. In the north awaits the power of the Murchison Falls National Park, where the water of the Nile crashes with deafening force through a narrow gorge.

Or walk through the rainforest of Kibale Forest, where chimpanzees curiously look at you between the trees. Every day is different — a travel experience full of nature, adventure and pure wonder.

Highlights of the trip to Uganda

Uganda – The Pearl of Africa

Uganda’s Diversity: Landscapes, Wildlife and People

Uganda is often called the undiscovered pearl of Africa — and rightly so. The diversity of landscapes, fauna, and flora is unprecedented. In the savannas you spot elephants, buffaloes, zebras, leopards and even the rare Ugandan kob.

Further west await the mountains and volcanoes, where mountain gorillas live in the misty forests of Bwindi. No experience comes closer to nature than a gorilla trekking: the moment you stand eye to eye with a silverback in his own habitat you will never forget.

The population of Uganda — with its friendly Luganda- and Swahili-speaking communities — welcomes you with a smile. Khokelo Safaris works closely together with these local partners, so that your journey also contributes to sustainable development and local employment.

Our Travel Style – Small-Scale, Authentic, Personal

We believe that a true safari is only successful when you can experience nature as it is — pure and undisturbed. Therefore we work with small-scale lodges, atmospheric tent camps and comfortable hotels in the middle of the nature areas.

At night you hear the sounds of the bush, the call of a hyena or the rustling of leaves by a buffalo. During the day you travel in a 4×4 safari vehicle with experienced guides, who not only know the animals, but also the stories of the land.

Our custom trips combine the best of both worlds: the freedom of a private adventure with the security of a professional organization.
