Uganda

Uganda, often called the “Pearl of Africa,” entices explorers with its diverse landscapes, abundant wildlife, and vibrant culture. In the capital city of Kampala, you can explore bustling markets, historic sites, and lively music scenes that reflect the country’s rich cultural tapestry. Uganda’s stunning natural beauty is showcased in its national parks, such as Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, home to half of the world’s remaining mountain gorillas, offering an unforgettable gorilla trekking experience. The vast savannas of Queen Elizabeth National Park teem with wildlife, including elephants, lions, and hippos, while the pristine waters of Lake Victoria provide serene escapes and opportunities for fishing and boating. Adventurers can also enjoy white-water rafting on the Nile River, which originates from Jinja.
