Uganda is a year-round destination, but the seasons shape your safari. Here is how to choose your dates.
Read articleThe Big Five are the lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino. With the right route, you can see all five in Uganda.
Lion
Queen Elizabeth National Park is famous for the tree-climbing lions of the Ishasha sector. Lions are also seen in Murchison Falls and Kidepo Valley.
Leopard
Leopards are shy, but Murchison Falls and Queen Elizabeth offer good chances, especially on early morning and evening drives.
Elephant
Elephants are found in most savannah parks. Watching them bathe along the Kazinga Channel from a boat is a highlight of many trips.
Buffalo
Buffaloes are common in Queen Elizabeth, Murchison Falls and Kidepo Valley, often in large herds.
Rhino
Rhinos returned to Uganda thanks to Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, where you can track white rhinos on foot with rangers. It sits conveniently on the road to Murchison Falls.
