Primate Safaris Uganda – Discover the Wild Heart of Africa
Uganda, famously known as “The Pearl of Africa,” is home to an incredible variety of primates, lush tropical forests, and breathtaking wildlife. A Primate Safaris Uganda offers travelers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to encounter mountain gorillas, chimpanzees, and golden monkeys in their natural habitats. Whether you are an adventurer, a wildlife lover, or a photographer, Primate Safaris Uganda guarantees unforgettable experiences surrounded by nature’s finest treasures.
Why Choose Primate Safaris in Uganda?
Uganda boasts the highest population of mountain gorillas in the world, found within Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park. These parks are among Africa’s most pristine ecosystems, offering a rare chance to spend an hour face-to-face with a gorilla family in the misty forest.
Besides gorillas, Uganda’s Kibale Forest National Park—often called the Primate Capital of the World—hosts over 1,500 chimpanzees and 13 different primate species, including red-tailed monkeys, L’Hoest’s monkeys, and black-and-white colobus monkeys.
With Primate Safaris Uganda, every tour is led by expert guides who specialize in primate behavior, conservation, and photography—ensuring your safari is educational, safe, and deeply inspiring.
Top Primate Safari Destinations in Uganda

2. Kibale Forest National Park
Known for the best chimpanzee trekking in East Africa, Kibale offers exciting encounters with man’s closest relatives. The park also features chimpanzee habituation experiences for travelers who wish to spend more time studying their daily routines.
3. Mgahinga Gorilla National Park
Here, travelers can combine gorilla trekking with golden monkey tracking, a rare and colorful primate species found only in the Virunga ranges.
4. Queen Elizabeth National Park – Kyambura Gorge
Also known as the Valley of Apes, Kyambura Gorge is an ideal spot for chimpanzee tracking in Uganda alongside scenic views and diverse wildlife including elephants, hippos, and lions.
When Is the Best Time for Primate Safaris in Uganda?
The best time to go on Uganda primate safaris is during the dry seasons (June to September and December to February). During these months, forest trails are easier to navigate, and wildlife sightings are more predictable. However, rainy seasons (March–May, October–November) can also be rewarding for birdwatchers and photographers due to fewer tourists and lush vegetation.

- Mahogany Springs Lodge (Bwindi)
- Chimpundu Lodge (Kibale)
