This park is renowned for its diverse array of black and white rhinos, leopards, cheetahs, and zebras, along with a multitude of wild bird species.

Prepare to embark on a delightful lunch experience where you will settle the bill directly. In the afternoon, you will embark on a journey to the Giraffe Center, where Rothschild's giraffes await your visit. Conclude your day with a visit to the Karen Blixen Museum.

Independent feedback from travellers who explored Uganda with us
Can highly recommend a safari with Adventure in the Wild. Simon was responsive and communication was excellent throughout planning and while we were on the ground in Uganda.
We combined chimps, gorillas, and Queen Elizabeth — everything connected seamlessly. Adventure in the Wild Safaris delivered exactly what they promised.
Chimp tracking in Kibale and game drives in Queen Elizabeth were highlights of our honeymoon. The guides were friendly, punctual, and genuinely proud of their country.
Gorilla permits, transfers, and lodge standards were all handled professionally. Our ranger briefing was thorough and the trek itself was the experience of a lifetime.
Excellent logistics for a short 5-day safari. Every driver was on time, every lodge matched the description, and the office team answered questions quickly.
Well-organised overland safari with comfortable 4x4s and excellent spotters. We saw lions, elephants, and chimps — and gorilla day ran like clockwork.
From airport pickup to final drop-off, everything worked. Adventure In The Wild Safaris is professional, warm, and clearly experienced with international guests.
As solo travellers we felt safe and well looked after throughout. Permits, park fees, and lodge check-ins were all sorted before we arrived — stress-free from day one.
