Big Five Uganda Safari Packages and Prices

Our Big Five Uganda Safari Packages range from 3-day, 5-day, 6-day, 7-day, 8-day, 10-day, 12-day, to 15-day customizable safari trips among others. You can carefully choose what best suits your travel needs from the selection provided below.

Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary is the only reserve in Uganda where you can observe one of the members of the Big Five and then combine with the rest in other parks. Although rhinos went extinct in Uganda in the 1980s, the southern white rhinos have been reintroduced in the sanctuary. This means there are no reserves in Uganda where you can do a Big Five safari in a single escapade. 

Visitors can see the Big Four (lion, leopard, buffalo, and elephant) animals in Queen Elizabeth National Park, and Murchison Falls National Park which can be combined with tracking rhinos in Ziwa Sanctury. Queen Elizabeth is popular for the famous tree-climbing lions in Ishasha while Murchison Falls is known for large herds of Rothschild giraffe, buffalo, and elephant.

The other Big Four reserve lies in the most remote area of Kidepo Valley National Park, the country’s most rugged wilderness with picturesque landscapes. In addition to the Big Four, it is popular for animal species found nowhere else in Uganda, such as caracal, cheetah, aardwolf, and ostrich, and there are plans to reintroduce white rhinos.

Find the best Big Five safari tour deals in Uganda by choosing one of these safari packages and embark on your adventure of a lifetime. You can take a personal snapshot of a lion sprawling in its natural habitat. There are a number of safari tours to choose from that range in length from 3 days up to 16 days.

The best time to see the Big 5 animals in Uganda is during the drier months of June to August and December to February, when there is plenty of sunshine. There is little or no rainfall during this period, making it easier to see the animals as they’ll be congregated around water holes.
