At UgandanWildlife.com, we live and breathe Uganda wildlife – from the misty gorilla forests of Bwindi to the lion-dotted savannahs of Kidepo. Founded by passionate East Africa travelers, we’re your independent guide to experiencing Uganda’s extraordinary biodiversity without the crowds. While we celebrate Uganda’s national parks and conservation triumphs, we’re not affiliated with the government-run Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) or ugandawildlife.org. Instead, we offer unbiased insights you won’t find on official channels.

Whether you’re tracking chimps in Kibale or cruising the Nile near Murchison Falls, we simplify your journey with up-to-date costs, ethical operator reviews, and seasonal wildlife calendars.
Why trust us? We reinvest 20% of revenue into local conservation NGOs while maintaining complete editorial independence. No permit sales. Just raw, awe-inspiring Uganda wildlife adventures – planned your way.
