LUBUGO TOURS

Explore East Africa through fashion, people and planet.

Discover Uganda with Lubugo Tours

Uganda is a land of striking contrasts - from sweeping savannahs and misty rainforests to tranquil wetlands. It’s one of Africa’s most thrilling safari destinations, offering rich biodiversity and unforgettable experiences. A visit to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest brings you face-to-face with the rare mountain gorillas - only found in this part of the world. Explore further and you’ll be climbing the snow-capped peaks of Rwenzori, encountering chimpanzees in Kibale Forest, facing the power of Murchison Falls, or standing at the very source of the Nile in Jinja.

Uganda’s cultural depth is just as captivating. With 56 tribes across the country, each brings its own unique traditions - from beadwork and barkcloth, to fashion that transforms recycled materials into art.

Lubugo Tours specializes in tailor-made journeys through Uganda. Our expert team is here to help you plan a trip that matches your interests. Get in touch today to start your journey.

"With Lubugo Tours I was able to include different activities and experiences beyond just safaris. The art and culture activities were a very unique and interesting way to experience Uganda - from touring the IGC studio, to tasting our way around Owino market and learning about textile waste. It was a refreshingly real experience for an organised trip."

When to go?

Best time to visit Uganda

Uganda is a year-round destination

The best time to visit Uganda is generally during the dry seasons (June to August and December to February), when conditions are ideal for wildlife safaris and gorilla trekking, as trails are more accessible and animals gather around water sources.

However, thanks to its tropical climate, it's a great destination year-round, with the seasons being not very strict. Even during the rainy seasons (March - May and September - November), you can still enjoy birdwatching, lush landscapes, and fewer tourists - just be prepared for occasional showers.

No matter when you visit, it’s best to come prepared for a mix of sun and rain, and you’ll be rewarded with unforgettable experiences.

Uganda offers more than adventure - it’s a destination for culture, relaxation, and connection. Whether you're chasing thrills or seeking calm, there's something for every traveler. Key activities include:
