Mount Elgon National Park (Uganda) — Wildlife
World’s largest mountain caldera, bamboo zones, and Sipi Falls trailheads
Ecology in context
High-altitude belts stack forest through heather to glaciers or caldera rims—specialist mammals and dramatic trekking rather than all-day game drives.

Viewing etiquette
Follow UWA and guide rules on distance, masks where required for primates, and no feeding. On savanna, stay in vehicles unless walking is officially opened; tip porters and trackers fairly where community programmes exist.
Questions
Is Mount Elgon National Park (Uganda) rewarding outside peak dry months?
Yes—with different trade-offs (greener scenery, fewer vehicles, sometimes trickier cats in long grass). Tell us your dates on contact and we suggest realistic pacing.
Can I combine Uganda with Kenya or Tanzania?
Yes—many guests pair gorillas or chimps with Maasai Mara or Serengeti; visas and permit sequencing need coherent design.
