Uganda Safaris with Bushwagon
Discover the Pearl of Africa on Wheels
Nestled in the heart of East Africa, Uganda is a land of dramatic contrasts—lush rainforests, mist-covered mountains, and sprawling savannas teeming with life. Known as the “Pearl of Africa,” this vibrant country offers some of the continent’s most thrilling and diverse safari experiences. At Bush Wagon Safaris, we’re proud to bring our signature mobile adventures to Uganda, taking you off the beaten path in our custom-built bush wagons to explore a wilderness unlike any other.
Why Uganda?
Uganda stands apart with its rare blend of wildlife and landscapes. It’s one of the few places on Earth where you can trek to see mountain gorillas in the morning and track lions across the plains by afternoon. From the thundering cascades of Murchison Falls to the serene shores of Lake Victoria, Uganda’s natural wonders are as varied as they are breathtaking. Our Uganda safaris are designed for adventurers who crave authenticity—those willing to trade the ordinary for the extraordinary.

Murchison Falls and the Nile

A Day in the Life
Your Uganda safari with Bush Wagon Safaris begins at dawn with the aroma of fresh coffee brewed over the campfire. After a hearty breakfast, you’ll set out—whether on foot to track gorillas or in the bush wagon for a game drive. Afternoons offer time to relax, soak in the scenery, or explore with your guide. Evenings are spent around the fire, sharing stories as the sounds of the bush lull you into a restful sleep atop your wagon’s rooftop tent or Safari lodge.
Conservation and Community
At Bush Wagon Safaris, we’re committed to leaving a positive mark. In Uganda, we work with local conservation groups to protect gorilla and chimpanzee habitats, ensuring these incredible species thrive for generations. We also hire local guides and porters, and a portion of every booking supports community projects like schools and clean water initiatives near the parks we visit.
When to Go
Uganda’s safari seasons are flexible thanks to its equatorial climate. The dry months (June to September and December to February) offer easier trekking and wildlife viewing, while the wetter months (March to May and October to November) bring lush greenery and fewer crowds. Our team can help you pick the perfect time for your adventure.
