Uganda packs very different landscapes into one country: the River Nile at Jinja, the waterfalls of Sipi on the slopes of Mount Elgon, savannah parks where lions rest in fig trees, and rainforests that are home to mountain gorillas and chimpanzees. These are the places E.V.A Safaris takes you. Each page covers what to see, the best time to go and how to get there from Kampala.
How to choose a destination
- Short on time or budget: Jinja, about 80 kilometres from Kampala
- A weekend of hiking: Sipi Falls
- Big wildlife: Murchison Falls or Queen Elizabeth
- The closest park to Kampala: Lake Mburo
- Primates: Kibale for chimpanzees or Bwindi for mountain gorillas
