🌏 Destination Overview
Uganda was praised by Churchill as the 'Pearl of Africa', packing rainforest, savanna and lakes across the equator. Deep in Bwindi's 'Impenetrable Forest' live nearly half the world's endangered mountain gorillas; trekking through the dense woods and meeting them face to face under a guide's lead is an unforgettable experience; Queen Elizabeth National Park has the rare tree-climbing lions, the source of the Nile surges out beside Lake Victoria, and you can also enjoy world-class white-water rafting. With rare ecology and lush greenery, Uganda is a treasure trove for high-end eco and safari travel.
