Welcome to Uganda Wildlife And Herping Safaris, your trusted specialist for unforgettable wildlife adventures, reptile tours, amphibian photography expeditions, and nature exploration experiences across Uganda. Our Uganda Wildlife and Herping Expedition is the ultimate safari for travellers who want to discover both Uganda’s famous wildlife and its hidden biodiversity. This unique expedition combines traditional wildlife safaris with exciting herping activities, allowing guests to search for reptiles, amphibians, chameleons, frogs, snakes, and many other fascinating species found throughout Uganda. Whether you are a wildlife photographer, herpetologist, researcher, bird watcher, conservation enthusiast, or adventure traveller, this expedition offers an incredible opportunity to experience Uganda from a completely different perspective. Known as the Pearl of Africa, Uganda is one of the most biodiverse countries on the continent. Its rainforests, mountains, wetlands, rivers, lakes, and savannahs create ideal habitats for a wide variety of wildlife, reptiles, and amphibians.
Why Choose a Uganda Wildlife and Herping Expedition?

- Mountain gorillas
- Chimpanzees
- Tree frogs
- Forest frogs
- Chameleons
- Gaboon vipers
- Forest snakes
