1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Uganda, landlocked in East Africa and straddling the equator, is home to some of the continent's most extraordinary wildlife and landscapes, including the Rwenzori Mountains, Lake Victoria, and the vast Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. It is one of the few places on Earth where visitors can trek to see endangered mountain gorillas in their natural habitat, drawing wildlife enthusiasts from around the world. Beyond gorilla tracking, Uganda offers chimpanzee encounters, white-water rafting on the Nile at Jinja, and outstanding birdwatching with over 1,000 recorded species. Its warm climate, relatively compact size, and diversity of national parks make it a rewarding destination for both adventure travellers and nature lovers.
