Uganda: Natural Beauty & Wildlife
Experience a cultural safari in Uganda, less well-known than its famous cousins to the south but no less impressive. We visit a number of parks and game farms where you'll see wildlife at its very best, and travel through majectic landscapes and small villages. As the highlight we have a chance to be close to the incredible gorillas - an experience of a lifetime!
This special tour will be restricted to a small group of 12-14 people 
maximum, so if you're interested in more information, contact us today! The small group size minimizes our impact on the fragile flora and fauna, and will allow us closer interaction with the wonderful culture.
Includes accommodation, transportation, guides, most meals, and fees (for Gorilla trek, etc.)
Interested in this destination? Groups start at just 4 travelers. Please contact us by phone or email for information.
