Every activity is planned around current park rules, permit availability, season, travel time, and the pace of your group.
Western Uganda
Kibale: Chimpanzee Habituation
Start early with UWA guides and follow a semi-habituated chimpanzee community through the forest. Current guidance allows up to four hours of viewing after the chimpanzees are located. Advance permits are essential, and the experience pairs naturally with Bigodi, crater lakes, Queen Elizabeth, or a longer western Uganda circuit.

Northern Uganda
Murchison Falls National Park
Murchison Falls National Park is one of Uganda's most rewarding safari destinations, combining powerful Nile scenery with excellent wildlife viewing. Travelers can enjoy game drives, boat cruises, bird watching, waterfalls, and sightings of giraffes, elephants, hartebeests, patas monkeys, buffaloes, antelopes, and many other species. The park is ideal for photography, family safaris, group tours, and travelers who want a classic Uganda wildlife experience.

Queen Elizabeth National Park
Queen Elizabeth National Park offers a rich mix of wildlife, crater landscapes, salt pans, scenic views, and boat experiences along the Kazinga Channel. Visitors can see elephant herds, hippos, buffaloes, antelopes, birdlife, and sometimes tree-climbing lions in Ishasha. The park is also a good choice for travelers who want both wildlife and beautiful western Uganda landscapes.

Lake Mburo National Park
Uganda’s compact savannah park is ideal for zebra, impala, eland, acacia birdlife, boat safaris, guided walks, game drives, and—when arranged with a ranger—night drives. It works especially well as a short escape or a stop between Kampala and south-western Uganda.

Mountains of the Moon
Rwenzori Mountains
Choose from scenic foothill walks, multi-day treks, or a technical summit expedition. Augur can coordinate transport, guides, accommodation, and the wider western Uganda route.

Rhino Conservation
Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary
Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary offers guided rhino tracking and conservation learning. It is a perfect stopover for travelers going from Kampala or Entebbe to Murchison Falls National Park. Visitors get a chance to see rhinos safely with trained guides while learning about Uganda's rhino conservation story.

Cross-border Journeys
Rwanda Branch & Cross-border Tours
Use Augur's Rwanda service route to connect Kigali, Volcanoes National Park, Akagera's Big Five and Lake Ihema boat trips, Nyungwe primates, and Lake Kivu boat experiences. Lake Kivu is a peaceful Rwanda destination, ideal for scenic boat journeys, relaxation, photography, and lakeside experiences after Kigali city tours, gorilla trekking, Nyungwe forest visits, or Uganda-Rwanda safaris.
