Adventures

Set among a land of lush highlands, ancient rainforests, and untamed waterways, our Uganda adventures offer rare encounters and deep connections.

From gorilla tracking in Bwindi to exploring the source of the Nile, every journey supports conservation and celebrates the stories of the people who call this wild landscape home.

VISIT UGANDA

Uganda, often called the “Pearl of Africa,” boasts a rich tapestry of wildlife and diverse habitats, from the lush rainforests of Bwindi to the expansive savannahs of Queen Elizabeth National Park.

Home to half of the world’s mountain gorillas, Uganda is a conservation beacon, diligently protecting these impressive creatures alongside elephants, lions and a multitude of bird species. 

The country’s conservation efforts are intertwined with the livelihoods of local communities who play a crucial role in safeguarding natural resources through sustainable practices and eco-tourism initiatives. Together, Uganda’s wildlife and communities exemplify a harmonious co-existence of humans and nature.

Where travel and conservation meet

As you travel through this unique landscape, you’ll have the chance to encounter a variety of native species, plants and animals that are naturally found only in this region. These species are key to the health of the local ecosystem, supporting biodiversity and helping maintain nature’s balance.

Many of them face threats from habitat loss, climate change, and invasive species, making conservation efforts more important than ever. By learning about and appreciating these native species, you’re also helping to protect them for future generations.

OUR FOCUS - THE IBERÁ NATIONAL PARK:

This extraordinary wetland, the largest in Argentina, is home to 30% of the biodiversity in the country including endangered species such as the pampas and marsh deer, the maned wolf and grassland birds like the strange-tailed tyrant.

In 2005, what was to become one of the largest rewilding programs in the Americas was started, with the goal of restoring keystone species that had been extirpated from Iberá through hunting and habitat loss and were extinct in the region, the Province or, in some cases, the country. 

As the rewilding program developed, the cultural identity of Iberá began to recover alongside the ecosystems and natural processes, impacting a total population of 100,000 people who surround the park.

Today, Iberá stands as one of the world’s most successful ongoing conservation missions.
