The land of the mountain gorillas in Africa!
Uganda’s great natural beauty led Winston Churchill to call it ‘the pearl of Africa’. From the moment the visitor lands at Entebbe’s international airport, with its breathtaking equatorial location on the forested shore of island-strewn Lake Victoria, it is clear that Uganda is no ordinary safari destination.
Dominated by an magnanimous golf course leading down to the lakeshore, and a century-old botanical garden alive with the chatter of acrobatic monkeys and colourful tropical birds, Entebbe itself is the least obviously urban of all comparably sized African towns. Just 40km distant, sprawled across seven hills, there is the capital Kampala. The bright modern feel of this bustling, cosmopolitan city reflects the ongoing economic growth and political stability that has characterized Uganda since 1986.
A trip to Bwindi national park will ensure that you meet the mountain gorillas of Uganda. For wildlife adventure tours, Queen Elizabeth National park is rewarding. Other holidays include excursions to the nile for white water rafting or eco tourism with visits to the cultural centres of the country with over 50 tribes.
