Both Uganda and Rwanda enjoy tropical climates with warm sunny days all year round – which means that even during the rain season, guests can still visit for gorillas, wildlife, birds and more. The rainy seasons are especially ideal for people who like uncrowded parks with lush vegetation. The rains are great for birders and photographers.

Your safari itinerary can be planned with your schedule and interests in mind. If your schedule is more flexible, we can recommend for you a schedule that will perfectly balance your interests and preferences – making your safari a perfect adventure.

Right from the start, all our safari packages are friendly to the environment and people. A portion of your payment for park activities is dedicated to local neighboring communities, and the rest goes directly into conservation efforts.

This is one of the reasons why Uganda and Rwanda are loved by many earth-conscious travelers.

Furthermore, we choose accommodations that follow eco-friendly practices, and are locally owned and run.

We extend this further by including cultural visits and encounters as part of our safari trips. These allow you the guest to meet the locals, learn about their lives and when possible support them by buying souvenirs.

Yes, we recommend that you get travel insurance for your safari trip.

Travel insurance can cover unexpected events such as trip cancellations, medical emergencies, lost luggage, and travel delays.

While the goal is to make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible, travel insurance for your safari provides peace of mind and financial protection in case something goes wrong.
