14 Days Uganda Primates and Kenya Wildlife Honeymoon Safari

This honeymoon puts two countries side by side.

You then fly to Nairobi and carry on to Kenya for Amboseli and the Masai Mara, with a sunrise […]

13 Days Kidepo and Eastern Uganda Birding

This route leaves the usual western circuit and reaches the dry country of Karamoja and the Somali-Masai birds of Kidepo, more than 470 species, many of which are found nowhere else in Uganda.

9 Days Rwanda Birding and Gorilla Trekking

Rwanda is small, so a short route reaches very different habitats: the wetlands and savannah of Akagera, the montane rainforest of Nyungwe with 27 Albertine Rift endemics, the shores of Lake Kivu and, to finish, mountain gorillas. The permit date is fixed first and the rest of the trip is built around it. A dedicated […]

4 Days Mabamba Shoebill and Kibale Chimpanzees

A short route for two of Uganda’s best encounters: the shoebill in the papyrus of Mabamba and wild chimpanzees in Kibale Forest, with the forest birds of Bigodi Wetland in between.

4 Days Queen Elizabeth Birding Safari

Queen Elizabeth holds a list of more than 600 species, drawn by the mix of open plains, crater lakes, papyrus swamps and lowland forest. This short route spends most of its time in the park. It involves early starts and a long drive at each end, so it suits birders who want a quick, rich […]
