Explore Uganda with Intare Safaris through gorilla trekking, chimpanzee tracking, wildlife safaris, Nile boat cruises, birdwatching, cultural journeys and reliable 4x4 safari routes.
With Intare Safaris, your Uganda trip can be built as a guided safari, a private family tour, a self-drive 4x4 adventure, a gorilla trekking extension from Kigali, or a complete Uganda-Rwanda safari circuit.

View SafariUganda sits in East Africa, bordered by Rwanda, Tanzania, Kenya, South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo. This position makes it excellent for cross-border safari planning, especially Uganda-Rwanda gorilla trekking circuits and longer East African journeys.
Most international travelers arrive through Entebbe International Airport, then continue to Kampala, Murchison Falls, Kibale, Queen Elizabeth, Bwindi, Mgahinga, Jinja, Kidepo or onward to Rwanda.
Perfect for gorillas, wildlife safaris, birding, Nile adventures and Uganda-Rwanda itineraries.
These destinations shape most Uganda safari circuits and work well for private guided trips, self-drive routes and Uganda-Rwanda combinations.
Helpful planning notes for routes, permits, transport, trip length and the best way to organize your Uganda safari.
Uganda can be visited throughout the year. The drier months are popular for gorilla trekking, chimpanzee tracking and game drives, while green seasons are beautiful for photography and birding.
Gorilla permits should be planned early, especially for Bwindi and Mgahinga during busy travel months. We help match your permit sector with the right route and lodge.
Most safari routes require reliable 4x4 vehicles because park roads, highland routes and rural sections can be rough, wet or remote.
Uganda works well for private guided safaris, self-drive 4x4 trips, family safaris, photography tours, birding routes and Uganda-Rwanda combinations.
Most travelers arrive through Entebbe International Airport, but Uganda safaris can also connect from Kigali for shorter access to southwestern Uganda.
A good Uganda safari can take 3–5 days for gorillas, 7–10 days for primates and wildlife, or 12+ days for a complete Uganda circuit.
