The places I take people

Most trips combine two or three of these over 8 to 12 days. Tell me what you want to see and I will suggest the mix.

If you want to see gorillas, tell me early

Mountain gorilla permits in Bwindi are limited and sell out months ahead. Mention them on our first call and I will build the whole trip around the permit date.

When to come

Uganda is green all year. The drier months are easier for forest walks and long drives.

Good to knowGorilla and chimp permits are discounted in April, May and November 2027. Fewer visitors, greener forests and a lower price: a good time to come if you do not mind some rain.
