If you like close encounters with wildlife, friendly people and stunning scenery, Uganda might be the best place to visit in all of Africa. This wonderful country offers the complete African wildlife experience with the added bonus of the gorillas. Down the west side of the country, you’ll see a plethora of elephants, hippos, chimps and more. Plus there are the mountain gorillas. There are less than 1,000 of these wonderful primates left in the wild, and you are assured of seeing them in their natural habitat on this tour.

Churchill was right—Uganda is the pearl of Africa! With stunning scenery, much of the country is on a plateau that ascends to over 5,100 metres on Mount Stanley in the south—the third highest peak in Africa. The landscape is a combination of jungle, grasslands, and land that has been cleared for farming. Uganda shares Lake Victoria—the largest tropical lake in the world—as its eastern border with Kenya and Tanzania.

While the recent past of this struggling nation cannot be ignored, today, the country is at peace. You will be greatly rewarded by visiting. Not just for the gorillas, but also for the people, the magnificent scenery and the culture.  Visitors are attracted by the gorillas, which are protected from poachers around the clock. It is a safe place to visit and the hospitality industry is well-trained in service with a smile.
