About Uganda

Uganda is a landlocked country in East Africa whose diverse landscape encompasses the snow-capped Rwenzori Mountains and immense Lake Victoria. The “Pearl of Africa” has ten national parks displaying the best of East Africa. Their Rift Valley landscapes, and tropical forests make dramatic backdrops to an extensive variety of flora and fauna.

The parks offer traditional savanna safaris along with boat tours, forest hikes, mountain climbing and wildlife research activities. Uganda is unrivalled on the continent as a bird watching destination with over 1,000 bird species – several of which are unique and found nowhere else on the planet.

Uganda is also home to 13 types of primates including over half of the world’s endangered mountain gorillas; and our closest relative – the chimpanzee.
