Uganda

Uganda, the "Pearl of Africa," is a land of incredible landscapes and diverse wildlife. From the towering Rwenzori Mountains to the vast shores of Lake Victoria, Uganda offers a rich tapestry of natural beauty. Bordered by South Sudan, Kenya, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tanzania, and Rwanda, this landlocked country is a paradise for nature lovers. With ten national parks, Uganda is home to over half of the world’s mountain gorillas, chimpanzees, rare golden monkeys, and the iconic Big Five. Birdwatchers will be thrilled by the 1,073 bird species that inhabit Uganda’s forests, wetlands, and mountains.

While gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is a highlight, Uganda also offers many other exciting adventures. Experience the thrill of white-water rafting on the Nile River, the longest river in the world, or go on a safari in Queen Elizabeth National Park, where you can see primates in Kyambura Gorge and spot the Big Four – buffaloes, leopards, elephants, and lions. Murchison Falls National Park features stunning waterfalls carved by the Nile and is home to lush landscapes, crocodiles, and the rare shoebill stork.
