Bwindi Impenetrable Forest
Gorilla and chimpanzee trekking are undoubtedly the standouts of Uganda wildlife holidays, given the now critically endangered status of the country’s mountain gorillas. The thick, tangled vegetation of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is one of their two remaining habitats, and it’s here that you can track the magnificent primates on a small group tour led by an expert guide. Their smaller primate relatives can also be tracked here, as well in Kibale National Park, where chimpanzee trekking is one of the most popular wildlife-spotting endeavours. Keen birders will also want to explore Bwindi’s dense landscape, as over 350 species take refuge in the treetops of the forest canopy.
Queen Elizabeth National Park
Once you’ve had your fill of primate pursuits, Queen Elizabeth National Park can offer some alternative animal adventures during Uganda wildlife holidays. Float along the Kazinga Channel on the lookout for hippos wallowing in the 20-mile-long conduit. The park’s population of unique tree climbing lions is another highlight. Thought to be a behavioural adaptation in order to protect themselves from the irritation of insect bites while lounging on the ground, the big cats scale fig and acacia trees, and laze on tree branches from lofty vantage points.
