Uganda combines mountain gorilla observation, safaris in national parks and discovery of the Rift Valley lakes. The country can be visited either on a private tour with an English-speaking guide or in a small group to share the experience. Two-week trips allow you to combine wildlife encounters, mountain hikes and relaxation by the lakes. Three-week circuits include more national parks and more observation time. The proximity of the sites makes it easy to move between the country's different ecosystems.
