About Uganda

The Pearl of Africa

Winston Churchill called Uganda "The Pearl of Africa" — and it lives up to every word. Half of the world's remaining mountain gorillas call Uganda home, sheltered in the ancient mist-covered Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Add chimpanzee tracking, tree-climbing lions, the thundering Murchison Falls, and the source of the Nile — Uganda is East Africa's most surprising and utterly captivating destination.
