Uganda Places to Visit: A Guide to the National Parks and Regions
Uganda packs an unusual range of landscapes and wildlife into a relatively compact country — rainforest, savannah, wetland and mountain, each holding its own distinct set of species. This page is a quick overview of where to go; see our Uganda Tours page for how to combine several into one itinerary.
Bwindi Impenetrable Forest
Home to roughly half the world's remaining mountain gorillas, spread across four trekking sectors. See our Bwindi gorilla trekking guide.
Queen Elizabeth National Park
Savannah game drives, the Kazinga Channel boat safari, and Uganda's famous tree-climbing lions in the Ishasha sector. See our Queen Elizabeth National Park guide.
Murchison Falls National Park
The world's most powerful waterfall by force, paired with strong game drives and a boat cruise to the base of the falls. See our Murchison Falls guide.
Kibale Forest
Africa's highest primate density and the top destination for chimpanzee tracking. See our Kibale National Park guide.
Kidepo Valley National Park
Uganda's most remote major park, in the far northeast, with species found nowhere else in the country and very few other visitors. See our Kidepo Valley guide.
Lake Bunyonyi and the Rwenzori Mountains
A scenic, low-key stop for canoeing and birdlife near the Rwanda border, and a serious multi-day trekking destination through the legendary "Mountains of the Moon." See our Lake Bunyonyi guide and Rwenzori Mountains guide.
