At Safari 2 Gorilla Tours, we believe that every journey to Uganda — the “Pearl of Africa” — should be nothing short of extraordinary. Uganda is a country rich in stunning landscapes, vibrant cultures, and unforgettable wildlife encounters. Whether you’re dreaming of trekking with gorillas, exploring vast Savannah, or immersing yourself in local traditions, here’s what you can expect when you travel with us to this East African gem:

1) Warm Welcomes and Friendly Faces

Uganda is famous for its hospitality, and with Safari 2 Gorilla Tours, you’ll experience it firsthand. Our expert guides and the Ugandan people alike are known for their friendly smiles and open hearts. English is widely spoken, making it easy to connect and engage with the communities you’ll visit throughout your adventure.

2)Breathtaking Natural Beauty

From the mist-shrouded Bwindi Impenetrable Forest to the rolling savannahs of Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda’s landscapes are a feast for the senses. Our tours will take you to some of the country’s most spectacular sights — majestic waterfalls, sparkling crater lakes, and even the legendary source of the Nile River.

3) Incredible Wildlife Encounters and Gorilla Trekking

A highlight of any journey with Safari 2 Gorilla Tours is the chance to meet Uganda’s most iconic residents — the endangered mountain gorillas. Trek through the dense forests of Bwindi or Mgahinga to encounter these magnificent creatures up close.

Beyond gorillas, our safaris offer opportunities to spot the famous “Big Five,” countless antelope species, hippos, crocodiles, and over 1,000 bird species in Uganda’s renowned national parks.

4) Taste the Flavors of Uganda

No trip is complete without savoring the local cuisine! Uganda’s traditional dishes such as matoke(steamed green bananas) and posho (maize porridge) offer hearty flavors, while the famous Rolex (a rolled chapati filled with eggs and vegetables) is a must-try street food favorite.

Our tours often include stops where you can sample authentic Ugandan meals and even join in local cooking experiences.

5) A Celebration of Culture and Traditions

Uganda’s rich tapestry of over 50 ethnic groups means endless opportunities to experience music, dance, storytelling, and crafts. With Safari 2 Gorilla Tours, you can visit cultural villages, explore ancient kingdoms, and shop local markets for unique handmade souvenirs.

6) Adventure Awaits

If you crave adrenaline, Uganda won’t disappoint. Alongside gorilla trekking, we offer thrilling activities such as white-water rafting on the Nile, hiking the Rwenzori Mountains (the “Mountains of the Moon”), boat safaris, and even bungee jumping for the truly adventurous.

7) Tropical Climate and Packing Tips

Uganda’s climate is generally warm year-round, though it varies between dry and wet seasons.

We recommend packing lightweight, breathable clothing, a good rain jacket, sturdy walking shoes, sunscreen, and insect repellent. Our travel experts will provide you with a detailed packing list tailored to your safari experience.

8) Travel and Visa Information

For 2025, a single-entry Ugandan visa can be obtained at any land border for USD $50 (cash).
