The Explorations Company, where no two journeys have ever been the same

But not only that, the people are kind and affable and the country has so much to offer. In the far north eastern corner of Uganda lies Kidepo Valley National Park where Uganda meets Sudan and Kenya, and the landscape and terrain are far different from that of the rest of the country. Here vast open landscapes are akin to those of Tanzania and Kenya’s open plains. The wildlife here is sensational and the best in Uganda, perfect for a luxury African safari.

Then, there is Murchison Falls, where the waters of the Nile are forced through a narrow gap in the rock. The park is also interesting, with topi and giraffe and lion sightings to spot on your luxury bespoke safari. Bwindi is an impenetrable ancient rainforest which spreads across the steep ridges of the Albertine Rift Valley and is home to roughly half of the world’s mountain gorillas, great for gorilla trekking. There is the last vestige of the pygmies who reside here and some truly fantastic African walking safaris for two days or more, walking through villages and banana and coffee plantations. Kyambura and Kibale offer superb sightings of habituated chimpanzees, whilst at Ishasha one can see the tree-climbing lions whilst on luxury safari.

Queen Elizabeth National Park is best for birdlife and the boat trips on the Kasinga channel and Lake Edward are so rewarding! Lake Mburo offers horse-riding, canoeing and fabulous walking safaris in Africa, whilst Bunyaruguru has some beautiful crater lakes. This is a country that offers wonderful, old-fashioned unique luxury safaris with a huge diversity of scenery that is awe-inspiring!
