Kenya Maasai Mara and Uganda Primate Safari: 12 Day Itinerary

Kenya Maasai Mara and Uganda Primate Safari: 12 Day Itinerary

A strong Kenya and Uganda safari works best when it avoids one common mistake: trying to see too much by road. The Maasai Mara, Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, and Kibale Forest National Park sit far apart, and the route crosses an international border. With smart flight planning, though, a 12-day Kenya and Uganda safari can […]

East Africa Primate & Beach Holiday: Serengeti, Bwindi, and Zanzibar

East Africa Primate & Beach Holiday: Serengeti, Bwindi, and Zanzibar

A well-planned East Africa safari and Zanzibar beach holiday works best when the route is built around permits, flights and wildlife seasons, not just a map.

Uganda vs Tanzania Safari Comparison Guide for East African Travelers

Choosing between Uganda and Tanzania is one of the most common safari questions in East Africa, and the honest answer is that both countries do different things very well.

Uganda vs Kenya Safari – Wildlife and Budget Comparison

Uganda vs Kenya Safari – Wildlife and Budget Comparison

Choosing between Uganda and Kenya is not a simple vote for “better.” It is a question of what kind of safari fits your time, budget and travel style.

Combining Uganda and Rwanda in One Itinerary – Best 7 Day and 10 Day Safaris

A good cross-border safari between Uganda and Rwanda is not about fitting in every famous park.

Canoeing on Lake Bunyonyi After Gorilla Trekking

After a gorilla trek in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park or Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, most travelers are tired in the best possible way.

[…]

Scenic Crater Lakes in Fort Portal and Kibale: Hiking and Relaxation Guide

Western Uganda’s crater lakes are close enough to Fort Portal and Kibale National Park to fit into a safari day, but they feel very different from the forest trails and chimpanzee trekking routes nearby.
