Luxury Safaris in Uganda

Straddling the Equator, Uganda is a country of extraordinarily diverse landscapes and experiences. A journey here takes you from shimmering Lake Victoria and emerald green farmland cleaved by red-earth roads to mist-cloaked highlands, where tea is grown, and to the dense foliage of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, home to more than half of the world’s mountain gorillas. Beyond ventures into the wilderness, there are stops at the hilly capital of Kampala and the lakeside city of Jinja, where visitors can immerse themselves in the balmy ambience of contemporary East Africa. This 12-day adventure captures it all, from culture-rich Kampala to up-close encounters with white rhinos, chimpanzees, and the famous gorillas during a stay at the just-opened Gorilla Forest Lodge, an A&K Sanctuary.

In the thrilling part of the world that gave birth to A&K, experience the diverse appeal of East Africa, from the sprawling classic safari country of Kenya, tracking lions, elephants, cheetahs and other iconic wildlife — including departures timed with the Great Migration’s appearance in the Maasai Mara — to the verdant misty hillside jungles of Uganda, encountering some of the world’s few remaining mountain gorillas up close. It’s a dream adventure come true, thanks to private air and the unrivaled local presence of Abercrombie & Kent.

Few things rival the thrill of encountering a gorilla in the wild. On this incredible Ugandan journey, our expert guides lead the way with the know-how, experience and ecological responsibility it takes to make this dream a reality. Along the way, they also reveal the Nile’s secrets, mist-shrouded Murchison Falls, evergreen rainforests, beguiling chimpanzees and rare tree-climbing lions.
