A practical guide for Adventurers from the Middle East, Europe and the US for navigating their way to Gorilla country in the age of Ebola and Middle East recovery. The headlines have been dramatic. Ebola in East Africa, a war in the Middle East, travel bans, flight suspensions, entry restrictions. If you’ve been sitting on a dream of trekking Mountain Gorillas in Bwindi you could be forgiven for thinking the door to East Africa has been firmly shut. It hasn't but it has mo

We are incredibly proud to share that Wildlife Adventure Safaris has recently been featured in the North Norfolk News! The recent article profiled our Managing Director and Co-Founder, Phil Nolan, tracing his journey from his roots in Norfolk, UK to the rainforests of Uganda. While a hometown newspaper naturally focuses on the local connection, highlighting how Phil balances life in Dubai whilst missing the grounding pace of the Norfolk coast, building Wildlife Adventure S

The current health dynamics in Central Africa have highlighted a fundamental shift in modern travel operations: a Destination Management Company (DMC) can no longer just be an itinerary planner. In an era of rapid headlines, sensationalised media coverage, and fluid border requirements, a true ground partner must operate with the precision, data, and analytical capabilities of a corporate risk management firm.

Three weeks ago, the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared the Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. Since then, the global media has produced a steady drumbeat of alarming headlines. Travel bans have been announced. An airline has suspended routes. Governments have issued advisories and inboxes at tour operators across East Africa have gone quiet.

When navigating a complex global health alert, choosing the right Destination Management Company (DMC) is the single most important decision you can make. With the World Health Organisation (WHO) declaring the ongoing Bundibugyo Ebola virus strain outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on 17 May 2026, travellers heading to East Africa must know exactly what to expect from their tour operator.

On 8 January 2026, the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) successfully completed the first phase of a strategic translocation project. Four southern white rhinos were moved from the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary to the Ajai Wildlife Reserve in the West Nile sub-region. This marks a significant milestone as it’s the return of the species to the reserve after more than 40 years of absence.

For the true Adventurer, few places on Earth rival the mystical allure of the Rwenzori Mountains National Park in western Uganda. Known as the Mountains of the Moon, this UNESCO World Heritage Site offers a trekking experience that is wilder, greener, and more technical than anything else on offer in East Africa.

As of 2 December 2025, the UK Government’s Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) has updated its travel advice for Uganda. Most notably, they no longer advise against all but essential travel to: Queen Elizabeth National Park (famous for tree-climbing lions). Semuliki National Park (a birding haven). The area immediately south-west of Kasese town.

Spending time with the Mountain Gorillas will be a life-changing experience. An encounter with Mountain Gorillas is one of the most profound wildlife experiences on Earth. For one hour, you have the opportunity to observe a habituated family in its natural habitat - a rare privilege to see this endangered primate on its own terms. Planning this Adventure, however, can be a complex logistical exercise. As a 5-star rated Tour Operator with operations in both Uganda and Rwanda,
