Visiting Uganda

The Pearl of Africa

The Pearl of Africa

Uganda packs more raw variety into one trip than almost anywhere else on the continent. In a single itinerary, you can look a mountain gorilla in the eye, track chimpanzees through rainforest canopy, drive past lions and elephants on the savanna, and ride the white water where the Nile begins — all within a country roughly the size of the UK. This is where Africa's primates, predators, rivers, and cultures meet in one unforgettable journey.

These are key tourist areas:

• Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Gorilla Trekking, Nature Walks
• Murchison Falls National Park. MurchisoUganda at a Glance
• Home to ~half the world's remaining mountain gorillas — nowhere else offers easier or more reliable access to them.
• The only country where you can trek gorillas and chimpanzees on the same trip — a combination no other safari destination can match.
• 10 national parks and dozens of reserves, packed into a country smaller than most single U.S. states.
• Source of the Nile — the world's longest river begins its 6,650 km journey right here in Jinja.
• Home to the famous Shoebill Stork - also known as "The Dinosaur Bird", it truly is unique.
• Nicknamed "The Pearl of Africa" by Winston Churchill in 1908 — a name that has stuck for good reason.
• Sits directly on the Equator — travelers can stand with one foot in each hemisphere near Kayabwe.
• Big Five, primates, water adventure, and culture in one itinerary — few destinations let you do all four without adding flights.
