A Guide to Uganda's National Parks

Uganda holds ten national parks, but most safari itineraries draw from eight of them, each with a distinct character — from Bwindi's gorilla-trekking rainforest to Kidepo's remote, uncrowded savannah.

If gorilla trekking is your priority, Bwindi is non-negotiable. Pair it with Queen Elizabeth for classic savannah game viewing, or with Kibale for chimpanzee tracking. For a genuinely off-the-circuit experience, Kidepo Valley rewards the extra travel time.
