About Imoratok Safaris

Uganda, the Pearl of Africa as defined by Sir Winston Churchill in the 1930s (locally translated as "Uganda Enkkula"), is an emerald endowed with beautiful landscapes, culture, wildlife, and the most welcoming people. Bordered by Rwanda, D.R. Congo, Tanzania, Kenya, and South Sudan, it is a cradle of primates—home to Mountain Gorillas, Golden Monkeys, and Chimpanzees. In the Kazinga Channel, Uganda boasts the highest concentration of Hippos in Africa. Protected areas include 10 national parks and 6 wildlife reserves. Water bodies cover nearly one-third of the country, including Lake Victoria and the source of the River Nile in Jinja. Highlights include whitewater rafting, hiking Mt. Rwenzori, and scaling the Virunga volcanoes (Gahinga, Sabinyo, and Mufumbira).

Rwanda, also known as the Land of a Thousand Hills, is decorated by stunning rolling hills and a border with Uganda and Congo formed by a chain of volcanoes forming scenic splendor like no other. Today, Rwanda is one of the premier primate tracking destinations and offers exceptional luxury eco-experiences. Volcanoes National Park offers gorilla tracking, golden monkey tracking, and volcano hiking. Nyungwe National Park is home to 13 primate species including chimpanzees, black-and-white colobus, and Sykes monkeys. Akagera National Park features savannah species including elephants, zebras, giraffes, buffalo, lions, leopards, and rhinos, making it an African Big Five habitat.

Kenya is the classic and most celebrated safari destination. On a contemporary safari, you can lose yourself for days, untroubled by crowds, communing with the bush and its inhabitants in an almost spiritual experience. The best time to visit Kenya is during the dry season from late June to October. The wildebeest migration usually reaches Masai Mara by August and remains until October before moving toward Serengeti in Tanzania. Wildlife viewing remains rewarding throughout the year across Kenya's diverse ecosystems.

The sheer scale of Tanzania makes a single visit unforgettable. The annual wildebeest and zebra migration in the Serengeti National Park easily fills a week of your holiday. Climbing Kilimanjaro—Africa's highest free-standing mountain—is an iconic expedition. Other remote and fascinating parks include Tarangire, Katavi, Ruaha, and Selous. The Ngorongoro Crater is a must-see for its dramatic geology and dense wildlife, while the chimpanzee sanctuaries of Mahale in the west and the spice island of Zanzibar offer serene respite.
