Discover Uganda – The Pearl of Africa Awaits

From gorilla jungles to savannah plains, experience wild beauty and unforgettable encounters

Uganda, famously known as The Pearl of Africa, offers a safari experience unlike any other. Nestled in East Africa, it is one of the few places on earth where you can trek through misty mountains to stand face-to-face with endangered mountain gorillas in their natural habitat. But Uganda’s magic doesn’t end with primates. Its diverse ecosystems—ranging from lush rainforests and expansive savannahs to glacial mountains and tranquil lakes—host an impressive variety of wildlife including elephants, lions, hippos, chimpanzees, and over 1,000 bird species.

Adventure seekers can explore Murchison Falls National Park, witness the explosive power of the Nile River, or glide through the swampy channels of Queen Elizabeth National Park spotting tree-climbing lions and giant forest hogs. Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park are world-renowned for gorilla tracking, while Kibale Forest offers one of the best chimpanzee tracking experiences in Africa.

Uganda also stands out for its welcoming people, rich cultural heritage, and uncrowded parks, making it perfect for travellers seeking a more intimate and authentic African safari. Whether you’re drawn by the call of the wild, the thrill of a mountain climb, or the serenity of a boat cruise, Uganda promises a journey filled with wonder and discovery.
