Uganda - The Pearl Of Africa

Uganda is regarded as one of the world's top tourist attractions, owing partly to its world-famous mountain gorillas in Bwindi and Mgahinga National Parks. However, it was already a famous tourist site before gorilla tourism became prominent.

Uganda, nicknamed "The Pearl of Africa" by British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill, holds a unique place in the hearts of the British Royal family, notably Queen Elizabeth National Park.

Uganda has something for everyone, from mountain climbing to seeing gorillas and animals to learning about local traditions. Uganda's varied scenery and cultures blend to create a distinct and enchanting charm.
