The Uganda that most itineraries quietly skip.

Africa's most remote savannah

Open plains framed by the Morungole mountains, ostrich and cheetah found nowhere else in Uganda, and a fraction of the visitors of any other park.

Congo-basin rainforest & geysers

A lowland slice of the Congo Basin marooned in Uganda, where a geyser boils high enough to cook an egg and the birdlife belongs to Central Africa.

The world's largest volcanic caldera

A dormant giant with a caldera wider than any on Earth, summit trails without permits or crowds, and the Sipi waterfalls on its lower slopes.

Emerald volcanic lakes

Dozens of collapsed volcanic craters filled with still green water, ringed by tea estates and best explored slowly on foot between chimp treks.

Walking & horseback safaris

Uganda's only park where walking among zebra, impala and eland is routine — and the one most travellers drive straight past on the way to Bwindi.

Golden monkeys & the Batwa Trail

Uganda's smallest park, in the shadow of three volcanoes — golden monkey trekking, a quieter gorilla family, and a guided walk with the forest's original inhabitants.

Tracking rhino on foot

The only place in Uganda to see wild rhino, and one of very few anywhere in Africa where you track them on foot rather than from a vehicle.

Equatorial glaciers

The Mountains of the Moon: giant lobelia, bog and ice within sight of the equator, walked by a few hundred trekkers a year rather than tens of thousands.
