More about Uganda
Uganda, often referred to as the “Pearl of Africa,” is a unique tourism destination known for its lush landscapes, rich biodiversity, and unforgettable primate encounters. The country is best known for mountain gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, offering one of the most intimate wildlife experiences in the world. Uganda is also home to chimpanzee trekking in Kibale Forest National Park, making it a top destination for primate tourism.
Beyond primates, Uganda offers diverse tourism activities including classic safaris in Queen Elizabeth National Park and Murchison Falls National Park, where the Nile River dramatically forces its way through a narrow gorge. The country’s varied landscapes include rainforests, savannahs, lakes, wetlands, and the source of the Nile at Jinja, which is famous for adventure tourism such as white-water rafting and kayaking. Uganda’s combination of wildlife, scenery, and warm hospitality makes it a compelling and increasingly popular East African destination.
