Uganda embraces many ecosystems, ranging from tall volcanic mountains, densely forested swamps of the Albert Nile to the rain forests of the country’s central plateau.
Ugandan coffee has become both a mainstay of the agricultural economy and a favorite of connoisseurs around the world.
More than 10% of the world’s species of birds are found in Uganda, making her a popular destination for birders.
The only outflow from Lake Victoria is the Nile River, which exits the lake near Jinja, Uganda: making it the
principal source of the longest branch of the Nile.
Of the three countries in the Virunga Massif, Uganda has the highest population of the endangered mountain gorillas.
Uganda was dubbed the “Pearl of Africa” by Winston Churchill, one of the country’s earliest tourists in 1907.
Uganda’s central attraction is the opportunity to track one of the world’s last surviving
mountain gorilla populations on the misty green slopes of Bwindi Impenetrable or Mgahinga
National Park.
Uganda was a revelation! I had not expected such a richness of wildlife or such great concentration. Uganda has everything Kenya has, plus such once-in-a-lifetime sightings as gorillas and chimpanzees
Scenically Uganda holds its own with any other country, the mountains and lakes of the southwest are postcard-perfect, standing atop Murchison Falls is exhilarating and Kidepo Valley is simply amazing
Uganda’s biggest attraction is mountain gorilla tracking. Seeing these gentle giants has been one of my best wildlife experiences ever. The quite recently established Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary is great.
