Experience Uganda, the ‘Pearl of Africa’, where experiences range from tracking gorillas and chimpanzees, to visiting hippo-filled rivers and marvelling at tree climbing lions. In Uganda you can cross the equator, search for the elusive shoebill, make your own coffee; this is a destination that has a lot to offer.
Seeing primates in their natural habitat is the main draw for visitors to Uganda; you never forget the first time you see a mountain gorilla or chimpanzee in the wild, that stays with you forever. Uganda is famous for its primate tracking, yet there is so much more to this diverse country.
The land is topographically varied with an extremely diverse range of wildlife, activities and experiences. Visit Uganda to experience boat safaris on some of the country’s most beautiful stretches of water or interact with local communities to learn about their culture and participate in some of their traditional activities, there is so much more to see and do.

This is the country of primate utopia with memorable personal experiences.
Yet Uganda has so much more to offer; Murchison Falls, Africa’s most powerful waterfall, Big 5 sightings, tea and coffee plantations, abundant birdlife, serene lakes and vast open plains teeming with wildlife. The country has a bit of everything yet it does not attract as many visitors as its neighbours Kenya and Tanzania.
Explore the numerous parks, each with their own unique flagship species or activity; particpate in safaris, horse riding excursions, boat trips, coffee making mornings and homestays.
Uganda is an eclectic mix of adventure, culture and wildlife sightings, experience something inspiring every day.
