Uganda and Rwanda are East Africa’s hidden treasures, offering safari experiences that feel deeper, richer, and more personal than anywhere else. While famous neighbors like Kenya and Tanzania boast wide-open plains and spectacular big game safaris, Uganda and Rwanda take you into a wilder, more intimate world — where misty mountains, lush forests, and rare wildlife encounters steal your heart. 

In Uganda, you can trek through the dense jungles of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest to lock eyes with endangered mountain gorillas, cruise alongside hippos on the mighty Nile River, marvel at tree-climbing lions in Queen Elizabeth National Park, and conquer the snow-capped peaks of the legendary Rwenzori Mountains. 

Across the border, Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park offers thrilling gorilla treks through bamboo forests, while Akagera National Park delivers classic Big Five safaris against a backdrop of lakes and savannahs. Nowhere else on Earth can match Uganda and Rwanda for the life-changing experience of gorilla trekking — an emotional, humbling journey that brings you closer to the wild than you ever thought possible. What truly sets these countries apart is not just the diversity of landscapes, but the emotional depth of the experience — from the resilience of Rwandan communities to the awe of standing among ancient forests — every moment feels raw, real, and unforgettable.
