Wildplaces Africa

Wildplaces Africa Our award-winning lodges are intimate, luxurious and unique. Service is gentle and discreet. Allow us to show you the Uganda we know and love…

We are one of the most established and respected safari operators in Uganda. The finest accommodation in Uganda's wildest places is found at our three luxury properties under the WILDPLACES AFRICA portfolio:
Semliki Safari Lodge (Semliki Valley Wildlife Reserve),
Apoka Safari Lodge (Kidepo Valley),
Clouds Mountain Gorilla Lodge (Bwindi National Park)

At Wildplaces we seek out the pockets of Ug

anda that still remain wild and secret. In these tracts of glorious wilderness we have built small, fantastically comfortable safari lodges. At our properties you won’t be jostling for space at the buffet table, you won’t be queuing with other vehicles for a glimpse of a lion or a herd of elephants. On our safaris you won’t be sharing a car with strangers or slavishly following a pre-determined itinerary. We hire from the local communities and are active in building community projects. Everything we do has conservation at its heart. Conducted by our talented safari guides in comfortable vehicles, our overland safaris combine luxury, style, service and authenticity to provide wonderful adventure, outstanding scenery and an unforgettable experience. THE UGANDA SAFARI COMPANY has been operating in Uganda since 1993 and we are well positioned to show you this fantastic place. We are one of the most established and respected safari operators in Uganda, and have some of the best negotiated rates for all of Uganda’s properties and excursions. Gorilla tracking, walking safaris, photographic safaris, birding safaris…cultural tours, hiking expeditions, fishing safaris, working holidays…we can do it. Whether you are here for a full safari in Uganda, or just visiting a lodge or two as part of a larger trip in Africa, let us share with you the Uganda we love...

Some places are special because of where they are.

Others are special because of the people who bring them to life.

Papa’s Camp is both.

From the first morning coffee to the stories shared around the fire, the team behind Papa’s Camp makes this small corner of Murchison Falls National Park feel like far more than a place to stay.

They are the people who know the rhythms of the river, the movements of the wildlife and the details that turn a safari into something you remember.

Meet Fergus Wright.

Uganda has been part of Fergus’ story for as long as he can remember. He moved here before he could walk, and his first birthday was spent at Semliki, while the lodge was still being built.

Perhaps it is no surprise, that the wilderness has always felt like home. His connection to this country runs deep, shaped by a lifetime of exploring its forests, rivers and wild places.

In this conversation, Fergus shares more about the places that have shaped him, the experiences that continue to draw him back and why Uganda remains one of Africa’s most extraordinary safari destinations.

Swap the glow of a screen for the first light of day over Uganda’s wild landscapes.

Watch the mist lift from ancient forests, listen as the wilderness awakens and witness a new day begin over rivers, savannahs and mountains shaped by nature.

Some stories are better experienced than watched.

Every traveller has a different way of discovering the wild.

For some, it begins with the quiet gaze of a mountain gorilla in the misty forests of Bwindi. For others, it is the thrill of trekking chimpanzees, watching elephants roam freely or witnessing the raw beauty of Uganda’s landscapes unfold.

Whether you have seven days to discover gorillas and game, eleven days to explore Uganda’s primates and the Rift Valley, or sixteen days to experience our wildest places, each journey reveals a different side of this extraordinary country.

From ancient forests and mighty rivers to mountain peaks and endless savannahs, Uganda is a land of unforgettable encounters.

Which journey calls to you?

Mountain gorillas are more than inhabitants of the forest. They are protectors of it.

As they move through their ancient habitat, gorillas help maintain the health of the ecosystem around them. Every trek supports conservation efforts that safeguard gorillas and the wild places they call home.

The Nile has shaped landscapes, communities and ecosystems for thousands of years.

From the forests of Uganda to the wetlands and waterways that sustain countless species, this iconic river is a lifeline for life across Africa.

Sometimes the best moments are the ones where you simply stop and watch nature unfold.

Hidden along the banks of the mighty River Nile in Uganda’s Murchison Falls National Park, Papa’s Camp offers an intimate safari experience surrounded by untouched wilderness.

With just five tents overlooking the river, every stay feels deeply connected to the landscape. Wake to the sounds of the bush, watch wildlife gather along the water and explore a region where countless species roam freely.

Named after Ernest “Papa” Hemingway, whose legendary adventures in Uganda inspired the camp’s name, Papa’s Camp captures the spirit of classic safari travel while protecting the wild places that make this destination so extraordinary.

A place where the Nile flows, the wilderness surrounds you and unforgettable stories begin.

Across Uganda’s forests, savannahs and wetlands, Africa’s antelope species play an important role in maintaining the balance of these incredible ecosystems.

Every encounter in the wild is a reminder of the delicate connections that keep nature thriving.
