Kingo Adventurers · Primates & Wildlife
Where the jungle comes alive.
A twelve-day private adventure through Uganda's forests, wetlands and savannahs, combining remarkable primate encounters with the unforgettable wildlife of East Africa.
The Roaring Jungle
Two worlds. One extraordinary journey.
Uganda is one of Africa's most rewarding destinations for travellers who want more than a conventional safari. Its ancient forests hold extraordinary primate life, while its savannahs and wetlands support elephants, lions, buffalo, hippos and countless other species.
The Roaring Jungle brings these experiences together over twelve days, moving from intimate forest encounters to the scale and drama of Uganda's great wildlife landscapes.
Travel privately with a dedicated guide and a flexible pace, allowing the journey to follow the rhythms of the forest and the movements of the animals rather than a rigid schedule.

Wildlife follows its own schedule
No wildlife encounter can be guaranteed. Chimpanzees and other primates move through dense forest, while savannah animals move according to food, water, weather and natural behaviour. Your guide will use experience, local knowledge and recent signs to maximise opportunities without disturbing the animals.
