UGANDA
About Uganda
Known as the “Pearl of Africa”, Uganda is a land of stunning natural beauty, diverse wildlife, and warm hospitality. From the snow-capped Rwenzori Mountains and the mighty River Nile to lush rainforests and endless savannah, Uganda offers a rare combination of landscapes and experiences.
Uganda is home to more than half of the world’s remaining mountain gorillas, making gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest one of the most unforgettable adventures on the continent. Beyond gorillas, visitors can spot the Big Five, cruise along the Nile, and enjoy year-round tropical weather that makes Uganda an all-season destination.
