At 6:30 AM, embark on an exciting morning game drive with a pick-up from your hotel. Nairobi stands out as it boasts one of the rare national parks in the world that is right next to a capital city. Nairobi National Park shares a boundary with the city on all sides except the south, allowing for the unique opportunity to capture images of a rhino wandering among the whistling thorn trees, framed by towering office buildings in the background. The park boasts an incredible gathering of black rhinos, making it a truly remarkable destination. Among the frequently seen wildlife are lions, hyenas, gazelles, warthogs, zebras, giraffes, ostriches, and buffalo, accompanied by an impressive array of 400 migratory bird species. Among the most renowned species, the elephant stands out as the only one missing from the gathering. At 1130hrs, embark on a visit to the Giraffe Centre, where you can feed the charming Rothschild's giraffe. They embrace a kiss as they gather their food from your hands! Make a thrilling pause at various shopping spots along the way. At 1300hrs, you arrive at your hotel, ready to unwind after an exhilarating journey. Primary Location: Nairobi National Park

Knowledgeable guides, clean vehicles, and thoughtful itinerary design. We felt we saw the real Uganda without rushing — exactly what we wanted from a local operator.
Professional from start to finish. Transparent pricing, timely updates on WhatsApp, and a fantastic Murchison Falls extension. Highly trusted local operator.
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.
We chose Adventure in the Wild Safaris after reading reviews and were not disappointed. Bwindi gorilla day and Lake Mburo extension were both superbly organised.
Responsive on email and WhatsApp, fair pricing, and a fantastic Murchison boat cruise. The whole team made our Uganda trip feel personal rather than packaged.
A flawless family safari — patient guides, thoughtful pacing, and help with permits made this the trip of a lifetime. The team genuinely cares about guests.
Well-organised overland safari with comfortable 4x4s and excellent spotters. We saw lions, elephants, and chimps — and gorilla day ran like clockwork.
Our first gorilla trek was handled perfectly — briefing, pacing, and lodge choices all made sense. Adventure in the Wild Safaris is a team you can trust in Uganda.
