From gorilla trekking clothes to savannah game drive essentials — here is everything you need to pack for the perfect Uganda safari, from what to wear in the forest to camera gear recommendations.

Planning the perfect Uganda safari requires insider knowledge. As East Africa's premier safari operator since 2008, Conservation Trips and Adventures has guided thousands of travellers through Uganda's extraordinary national parks and wilderness areas.

Uganda — the Pearl of Africa — is home to half the world's remaining mountain gorillas, the chimpanzee capital of the world at Kibale Forest, and over 1,000 bird species. The country offers a diversity of wildlife experiences that few destinations can match.

Getting the Most from Your Safari

Whether you're tracking mountain gorillas in the misty forests of Bwindi, watching tree-climbing lions in Queen Elizabeth National Park, or cruising the Nile at Murchison Falls — timing, preparation, and expert guidance make all the difference.
