Uganda Luxury Holidays

For a holiday that embraces some of nature’s greatest gifts, we recommend that you experience a luxury escape to Uganda.  Immerse yourself in unspoiled rainforests, take a private safari to spot some of the world’s most majestic creatures, and track mountain gorillas through ancient jungles.

TROPICAL JUNGLES AND ONCE IN A LIFETIME WILDLIFE EXPERIENCES

Uganda is often referred to as “The Pearl of Africa” and it is easy to understand why.  The lush green and mountainous landscape is home to bio-diverse rainforests, dense jungles, and many lakes and rivers including the source of the River Nile in the town of Jinga, on the banks of Lake Victoria where you can take a boat cruise to experience the Nile crocodiles.  A trip to the cascading Sipi Falls on the slopes of the towering Mount Elgon is also a magnificent sight.   

Uganda is most famous for the endangered mountain gorillas that inhabit the dense jungles of the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, arrange a personal guide to lead you on a private trek to view this unbelievable and quite mystical experience.

Uganda also offers an opportunity to spot Africa’s ‘Big 5’ animals on a personalised safari expedition as they roam freely through the deserts and plains of this vast country.  The wildlife encounters don’t end there, make sure to keep your eyes peeled for hunting cheetah in the Kidepo Valley and see playful Chimpanzees swinging through the wild and misty Kibale Forest.

One of the most wonderful natural sights in Uganda is the roaring Murchison Falls which is where the powerful Nile squeezes its way through a seven-metre-wide gap.

When your adventures are over for each day you will need a luxurious place to rest your head as you soak in your glorious surroundings.  Accommodation in Uganda is as unique and exciting as the rest of this amazing country.  Choose between exclusive safari camps offering luxury tents with private balconies overlooking the surrounding forest, peaceful Mountain retreats on the banks of vast mountain lakes, and rustic but incredibly comfortable jungle lodges with private spas and uninterrupted forest views.  If you can’t decide we would love to create a tailored itinerary to include a stopover wherever you wish!  That is what we are here for.

Top 5 things to do in Uganda

• Take a land or sea safari to explore Murchison Falls National Park. Make sure you take in the awe-inspiring Karuma falls too.
• Half of the Mountain Gorillas in the world live in Uganda, so hiking, bushwhacking your way through Bwindi Impenetrable National Park will give you time to observe gorillas in their natural habitat.
• Explore culture at the Uganda Museum on Kira Road in Kampala. Filled with traditional music, Stone Age tools, and various exhibits that explore the history of Uganda, this is one not to be missed.
• Jija is the place to go for thrills and spills. White water rafting at the source of the Nile River gives you access to up to Class V rapids.
• Brunch is best eaten at Prunes. Mix with ex-pats and locals, whilst you experience delicious food and excellent service.
