Uganda , officially the Republic of Uganda, is a landlocked country in East Africa. Uganda is also known as the “Pearl of Africa”. It is bordered on the east by Kenya, on the north by Sudan, on the west by the Democratic Republic of the Congo, on the southwest by Rwanda, and on the south by Tanzania. The southern part of the country includes a substantial portion of Lake Victoria, which is also bordered by Kenya and Tanzania.
Gorilla Trekking is one of the most humbling and moving wildlife experiences you can have in Africa. These endangered creatures can be tracked from either Rwanda or Uganda (ask us for more info on Uganda)—spend an hour with a family group, often with babies and always with a silverback or two. Gorilla trekking in Uganda or Rwanda combines perfectly with a safari in Kenya or Tanzania, or exploring Rwanda and Uganda in more depth, both countries have a lot to offer.

Uganda is Africa condensed, with the best of everything the continent has to offer packed into one small but stunning destination. Uganda is home to the highest mountain range in Africa, the Mountains of the Moon in the Rwenzori National Park. It is the source of the mighty Nile, and around Jinja offers the best white-water rafting in the world. It has the highest concentration of primates on earth, including the majestic mountain gorilla, one of the rarest animals on the planet. Head to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park for a chance to get close to these great apes.
