On the trail of gorillas and chimpanzees

In the heart of Central Africa, Uganda allows you to make magnificent safaris crossing sumptuous landscapes throughout your itinerary. In the footsteps of gorillas and chimpanzees, also stop to meet lions and elephants to ensure an extraordinary trip, up to your requirements!

Uganda is an exceptional destination for lovers of wilderness and safari. Fly to the “Pearl of Africa” on a personalized tour in Uganda with My Luxury Travel to approach the Kibale chimpanzees or the mountain gorillas of the Bwindi forest.

Travel in Uganda off the beaten path

In the heart of Central Africa, Uganda is an exceptional destination thanks to its tropical forests jealously protected from the modern world. Natural spaces in which flora and fauna are unique, and where it is possible to experience a meeting with great apes like mountain gorillas.

Kibale National Park

In the Ruwenzorile massif, in southwestern Uganda, the Kibale National Park covers more than 776 km². This rainforest located between 1100 and 1600 meters of altitude is a privileged place for a nature safari since it shelters hundreds of varieties of birds including the hoof beak, and many other species like the famous chimpanzees of the forest of Kibale.

Safari with mountain gorillas in Bwindi

Being able to meet mountain gorillas in Bwindi is a rare and impressive privilege. Follow in the footsteps of this protected species in the heart of the impenetrable forest of Bwindi.

Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this 320 km² jungle is the only natural environment where it is possible to approach, observe and photograph the very rare mountain gorillas.

Visit the Mburo Lake National Park

Created in 1982, Lake Mburo National Park covers 370 km². If it is therefore not the largest of the parks in Uganda, it is undeniably one of the most beautiful and less touristy.
Perfect for getting off the beaten track, this savannah with its varied landscapes is home to large African mammals such as the zebra, the hyena, the hartebeest (African antelope), the leopard or the crescent cob.
