Talk to Us
When is the best time to visit Uganda?

Uganda is a year-round destination. Dry seasons (June–September and December–February) are ideal for gorilla trekking and savanna game drives. The green seasons bring lush landscapes, fewer crowds, and excellent birding.

How far in advance should I book gorilla permits?

Gorilla permits often sell out 6–8 months ahead, especially for peak months (June–September). We recommend starting the conversation early so we can secure your preferred dates.

Are your safaris private or group tours?

Most of our journeys are privately guided and tailored to your pace. We also run select small-group departures for popular routes when you prefer to travel with other adventurers.

What is included in a typical safari package?

Packages usually include park fees, permits where applicable, accommodation, transport, guide services, and many meals. International flights are typically excluded. Every itinerary lists inclusions clearly before you book.

Is Uganda safe for travelers?

Uganda is widely regarded as a welcoming and traveler-friendly destination. We work with trusted local partners, monitor conditions closely, and handle logistics from Entebbe arrival through departure so you can focus on the experience.

Can you customize an itinerary for families or special interests?

Absolutely. Whether you want a family-friendly pace, serious birding, photography focus, or a honeymoon escape, we design each journey around your interests, fitness level, and travel style.

Traveler Stories

Don't just take our word for it.

Looking into the eyes of a silverback gorilla is something I will never forget. Our guide, Moses, made us feel incredibly safe and shared so much knowledge about the forest. Truly a life-changing experience.

Sarah & James T. London, UK

We avoided the typical crowded safari destinations and chose Uganda instead. Best decision ever. We saw tree-climbing lions, huge herds of elephants, and barely any other vehicles. Winfein Safaris handled everything perfectly.
