Africa's Most Rewarding Safari

Uganda is a multicultural country in East Africa whose diverse landscape spans from the lush rainforests of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park — home to half the world's mountain gorillas — to the stunning savannas of Queen Elizabeth National Park and the thundering power of Murchison Falls.

Often called the Pearl of Africa, Uganda packs extraordinary biodiversity into a compact country: over 1,000 bird species, 13 primate species including chimpanzees and gorillas, and the Big Five roaming its national parks.

At Tilenga Safaris, we are uniquely positioned in Uganda — our two lodges sit at the gates of Murchison Falls and Queen Elizabeth National Parks.
