Welcome to the Pearl of Africa - Uganda!

Located in the heart of Africa, Uganda is a land of breathtaking landscapes, vibrant cultures and unforgettable wildlife encounters. From the outstanding mountains, lakes of all shapes and sizes, impenetrable rainforests and endless savannahs, Uganda captivates with the natural beauty and the warm hospitality of the Ugandans.

Imagine yourself hiking through the dense jungles of the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest as you turn a corner and there - in all their calm glory is a family of gorillas - just going about their day. Seeing gorillas is an inspiring and moving experience that is impossible to express with words - a moment forever etched in your memory.

Beyond the gorillas, there are chimps in several other Ugandan forests. You get to meet the closest animal relative to humans - and draw your comparison of how closely related we truly are. With mountain gorillas, chimpanzees and 13 more species of primates - Uganda is the ultimate place to visit for a real-life experience of meeting primates in their natural environment.

Explore the iconic Murchison Falls, where the Nile River crashes through a narrow gorge, creating a mesmerizing spectacle. This sight's sheer force and natural grandeur will leave you in absolute wonder. For wildlife enthusiasts, the sprawling savannas of Queen Elizabeth National Park offer a front-row seat to an incredible safari, where lions, elephants, hippos, and more than 650 bird species roam freely.

Other savannah parks like Kidepo Valley and Lake Mburo also add to the options of how much wilderness you can enjoy in Uganda for wildlife, birding and local culture.

While Uganda's nature is every bit noteworthy, the country is a tapestry of vibrant cultures and warm-hearted people. Your engagement with the locals, delicious food, learning the dances and meeting the many smiling faces will stay with you forever.

Do you seek adventure, cultural immersion, or a peaceful escape? Uganda will welcome you and steal your heart.
