Famed for its gorilla trekking, Uganda is rushing rivers and powerful waterfalls, startling wildlife and a wonderfully warm population.
Uganda Safari Trips & Tours
Rather like its neighbour, Rwanda, Uganda has shrugged off the dark shadows of the past and grown into its deserved title as the "Pearl of Africa". Often overlooked as a safari destination, this small, landlocked country packs one hell of a punch when it comes to bucket-list experiences.Probably most famous for gorilla and chimpanzee trekking (and justifiably so, with the world’s highest concentration of primates inside its borders), a Uganda safari may also include tree-climbing lions, enormous herds of elephants and sightings of more than 1000 species of birds. And then there’s the scenery – pounding rivers and serene lakes, misty mountains and savanna plains. This is a magical place with enough to keep even the most indomitable travellers enthralled.
Uganda is a compact country brimming with experiences. After all, there are not many places in the world that can offer gorilla trekking, chimpanzee viewing and a traditional safari (tree-climbing lions included) without having to cross a border.
Make the effort to get to Kidepo Valley in the country's far north and embark on a walking safari through its astounding landscapes. It’s the furthest from civilisation you may ever get.
Tourism is a relatively new concept in Uganda, so its infrastructure is definitely less developed than that in other countries in East Africa. But don’t let that put you off – the rewards at the end of (and during) a long car journey are more than worth it.
