Uganda Big Five Experience

The Big Five are lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino. On this tour, you’ll track rhinos at Ziwa and search for the rest in Murchison Falls, Queen Elizabeth, and Lake Mburo.

While wildlife sightings are not 100% guaranteed, this tour covers the best parks and reserves, giving you very high chances of seeing all five.

The dry seasons (June–September and December–February) offer the best wildlife viewing. However, safaris are possible year-round.

Rhino tracking at Ziwa is a guided walking activity. It’s moderate and suitable for most travelers, including families with children.

Expect 4–7 hour drives depending on the route. Scenic stops and cultural encounters make the journeys enjoyable. Domestic flights can be arranged at extra cost.

Expect hippos, crocodiles, giraffes, zebras, antelopes, warthogs, hyenas, and hundreds of bird species, including the rare shoebill stork.

You can choose from budget, mid-range, or luxury lodges depending on your preference and budget.
