Uganda, fondly known as the “Pearl of Africa”, is a land of breathtaking contrasts—lush green hills, misty mountains, shimmering lakes, and vibrant savannahs. This East African gem is home to some of the most diverse and thrilling wildlife experiences on the continent. From tracking endangered mountain gorillas in the tangled forests of Bwindi, to sailing along the Nile in Murchison Falls National Park or spotting tree-climbing lions in Queen Elizabeth National Park, a Uganda safari promises unforgettable close encounters with nature.
With ten national parks and numerous game reserves, Uganda offers more than just game drives—it’s a place where adventure meets authenticity, and the landscapes are as rich as the culture.
