Uganda

Also known as the pearl of Africa, Uganda is a unique experience with a culture that is remarkably diverse. Outside the Uganda gorilla safaris in Bwindi, other major draws of Uganda include birding, trekking the forest reserves, and visiting the Nile’s source at Lake Victoria in the southern part of the country. Other areas which are famous are the Queen Elizabeth National Park and the Ruwenzori mountain ranges. The main access point is Kampala/ Entebbe overlooking Lake Victoria. The smoky urban bustle of Kampala bursts at the seams then gives way to lush subsistence farming and small villages full of friendly locals.
