🗺️ General Safari Questions
What is the best time to go on a safari in Uganda?
The best time is during the dry seasons: December–February and June–September. Wildlife is easier to spot around waterholes, and conditions are ideal for photography and trekking.
We operate in Uganda’s premier national parks, including Murchison Falls, Kidepo Valley, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Queen Elizabeth, and Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary. Each itinerary is crafted around wildlife density, scenery, and photographic opportunity.
What parks do your safaris cover?
Are your safaris private or group-based?
Most of our safaris are private and tailor-made for individuals, couples, families, or small groups. Customization is our specialty!

📷 Photography-Focused Questions
Do I need to be a professional photographer to join?
Not at all! Our photo safaris are designed for all skill levels — from smartphone shooters to seasoned pros. We even offer optional coaching from wildlife photography experts.
A DSLR or mirrorless camera with a telephoto lens (200mm–600mm) is ideal. A wide-angle lens is great for landscapes. We’ll send you a full gear list upon booking. We provide an option to rent cameras as well!
