Uganda Safaris
Why Visit Uganda
Home to the Big 5 and breath-taking natural beauty, a Uganda safari experience is ideal for families, honeymooners and adventure seekers of all ages.
DNA is an tour operator specialising in quality, tailor-made and sustainable cultural and safaris to Uganda.
There's nothing like first hand experience, which is why we spend time each year on the ground visiting the latest attractions, finding hidden gems and seeing friends we've worked with for years.
For parents , a family safari provides a rare opportunity to disconnect from the everyday hustle and reconnect with nature and each other. Away from the usual distractions, families can share adventures on game drives, swap stories over campfires, and enjoy quiet moments under vast, starlit skies. Watching young children’s faces light up at their first giraffe sighting, seeing teenagers laugh with new friends in camp, or simply appreciating the serene beauty of the Uganda wilderness over sundowners, is a real privilege.
Why Uganda safari, Uganda is the pearl of Africa: Many people who have had the opportunity to visit Uganda believe that it is the best safari destination in the world. This belief is found on the great attractions that can be found there. Many also believe that going on safari to Uganda is like going on vacation in three different countries, which makes it superior to some African countries.
In addition to having one of the most diverse wildlife populations on the continent, the country still has many of its parks without boundary fences, which is unusual in today’s globe and offers a far more genuine safari experience.
Kidepo Valley National Park
Kidepo Valley National Park lies in the rugged, semi arid valleys between Uganda’s borders with south Sudan in the north west and only 5km from the eastern border of Kenya, some 700km from Kampala. Gazetted as a national park in 1962, it has a profusion of big game and hosts over 77 mammal species.
Kidepo is Uganda’s most isolated national park, but the few who make the long journey north through the wild frontier region of Karamoja would agree that it is also the most magnificent, for Kidepo ranks among Africa’s finest wildernesses. From Apoka, in the heart of the park, a savannah landscape extends far beyond the gazetted area, towards horizons outlined by distant mountain ranges of Morungole
Murchison Falls National Park
Murchison Falls National Park lies at the northern end of the Albertine Rift Valley, where the sweeping Bunyoro escarpment tumbles into vast, palm-dotted savanna. First gazetted as a game reserve in 1926, it is Uganda’s largest and oldest conservation area.
The park is bisected by the Victoria Nile, which plunges 45m over the remnant rift valley wall, creating the dramatic Murchison Falls, the centrepiece of the park and the final event in an 80km stretch of rapids. The mighty cascade drains the last of the river’s energy, transforming it into a broad, placid stream that flows quietly across the rift valley floor into Lake Albert.
This stretch of river provides one of Uganda’s most remarkable wildlife spectacles. Regular visitors to the riverbanks include elephants, giraffes, and buffaloes; while hippos, Nile crocodiles, and aquatic birds are permanent residents.
Kibale National Park
Kibale’s premier attraction is the Kanyanchu Primate Walk, offering the opportunity to seek out thirteen different primate species, with a variety of diurnal monkeys frequently observed. However, the true highlights of this walk are the chimpanzees. Since 1993, the Kanyanchu chimpanzees have been closely monitored, significantly increasing the likelihood of sightings. Guided walks are available at 8:00 AM and 2:00 PM, typically lasting around three hours, subject to various conditions.
The most notable among Kibale’s primate population is the surge of about 1,500 chimpanzees, divided into at least a dozen different communities, with four habituated to human presence. The Kanyantale community has been tracked by tourists daily since 1993.
Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
Bwindi Impenetrable National Park lies in southwestern Uganda on the edge of the Rift Valley. Its mist-covered hillsides are blanketed by one of Uganda’s oldest and most biologically diverse rain forests, which dates back over 25,000 years and contains almost 400 species of plants. More famously, this “impenetrable forest” also protects an estimated 459 mountain gorillas – roughly half of the world’s population, including several habituated groups, which can be tracked.
This biologically diverse region also provides shelter to a further 120 mammals, including several primate species such as baboons and chimpanzees, as well as elephants and antelopes. There are around 350 species of birds hosted in this forest, including 23 Albertine Rift endemics.
Bwindi is a home to atleast 200 butterfly species including the eight albertine rift endemics.Also a home to many reptiles.
Sipi Falls -Kachorwa
Sipi Falls is a series of three waterfalls found in Eastern Uganda within the district of Kapchorwa town. The waterfalls lie on the edge of Mount Elgon National Park near the Kenyan border. Sipi falls are approximately 277km from Kampala, Uganda's capital in the Kapchorwa district.
The sipi falls derived its name from a word “Sep” which is commonly known as an indigenous plant that is seen as medicine and is normally used by the local people to treat many diseases like; malaria and measles. In this area we have opportunities to for Natures, coffee tour and hiking not forgetting community visit..
