Uganda

The Silver Back Gorillas and the Green Land of the Moon’s Mountain

Uganda packs a lot into one small country, with a tapestry of landscapes, excellent wildlife viewing, and friendly locals. It is home to Africa’s highest mountain range (the Rwenzoris), the Nile’s source, the world’s longest river, and Africa’s largest lake. Rafting the Nile is an exciting adventure, but tracking mountain gorillas is the country’s most popular experience.

Tourism is restoring the luster to Uganda’s “pearl of Africa,” emerging from the darkness of the country’s dark past. Here you’ll find the best of the continent at a lower cost and with fewer tourists than in more well-known East African destinations.

Uganda is a one-of-a-kind safari destination in East Africa. The country has one of the most pleasant climates on the planet. The weather is sunny and green throughout the year, with two distinct rainy seasons from March to May and September to November.

This artistically created country is bordered on the east by Kenya, Tanzania, and Rwanda, on the south by Tanzania and Rwanda, on the west by the Democratic Republic of Congo, and on the north by Sudan. Despite being on the Equator, it is the only African country with a high altitude.
