Wildlife
What You Might Encounter
Mountain Gorilla
Critically endangered great apes — tracking a family group through ancient forest is one of Africa's most profound wildlife encounters.
Forest Elephant
Smaller and darker than savannah elephants, these elusive forest giants move silently through Bwindi's dense undergrowth.
L'Hoest's Monkey
A striking primate with a white beard and dark coat, endemic to Central African montane forests.
African Green Broadbill
A brilliantly coloured bird found nowhere else on earth outside this corner of East Africa.
Tree-Climbing Lion
In Ishasha, southern Queen Elizabeth NP, prides of lions have developed the unique habit of lounging in fig trees — a behaviour rarely seen anywhere else in Africa.
Hippo
The Kazinga Channel hosts one of Uganda's largest hippo populations, best seen on a boat cruise at sunset.
African Buffalo
Massive herds roam Queen Elizabeth's open grasslands, forming the backbone of the lion's prey base.
Uganda Kob
The national antelope of Uganda, found in impressive numbers across the park's savannah flats.
Chimpanzee
Kyambura Gorge — the "Valley of Apes" — cuts through the park and shelters a habituated chimp community.
Red Colobus Monkey
Large troops of these russet-and-black monkeys crash through the canopy, often in the company of mangabeys and blue monkeys.
African Forest Elephant
Smaller than their savannah cousins, forest elephants use Kibale's trails as ancient pathways between feeding grounds.
Shoebill Stork
One of the world's most sought-after birds — a prehistoric-looking giant that stalks lungfish in the Nile's papyrus swamps.
Nile Crocodile
The Nile below Murchison Falls teems with enormous crocs, easily spotted from the park's famous boat cruise.
Elephant
Murchison supports one of Uganda's largest elephant populations, often seen in large herds near the Victoria Nile.
Rothschild's Giraffe
One of the rarest giraffe subspecies — a conservation success story centred on Murchison's northern bank.
Lion
A recovering lion population roams the northern savannah, best located on morning game drives.
Cheetah
One of the few Ugandan parks where cheetah can still be sighted on the open Narus Valley plains.
Ostrich
Uganda's only ostrich population struts across Kidepo's semi-arid plains.
Bat-Eared Fox
These small, large-eared canids are common in Kidepo's scrubland — absent from Uganda's other parks.

Golden Monkey
Found only in the Virunga volcano region, these vivid orange-patched primates leap through bamboo forest in boisterous troops.
Forest Buffalo
