Tour Overview

The Ultimate Uganda Bucket-List Safari

The 8-Day Uganda Big Five, Gorilla & Chimpanzee Safari is a masterfully crafted flagship itinerary by Akagera & Apes. Spanning eight action-packed days, this comprehensive circuit is designed for travelers who want it all: tracking the legendary "Big Five" alongside Africa's two most iconic primate species — the endangered Mountain Gorilla and the wild Chimpanzee.

This expedition offers an epic journey across Uganda's vastly contrasting landscapes, seamlessly taking you from roaring savanna plains to mystical, deep-jungle canopies. Your adventure sparks alive with a foot safari to track wild Southern White Rhinos at Ziwa, completing the first piece of the Big Five puzzle before marveling at the sheer force of Murchison Falls. Handled entirely in comfort with Akagera & Apes' expert driver-guides and robust 4×4 safari vehicles, this is the ultimate bucket-list adventure.
