Uganda

The Pearl of Africa — home to mountain gorillas, the source of the Nile, and some of the continent's most biodiverse rainforest.

Why Visit Uganda

Uganda earned its nickname "The Pearl of Africa" for good reason: within a single trip you can track mountain gorillas through the misty forests of Bwindi, raft the source of the Nile at Jinja, and watch tree-climbing lions in Queen Elizabeth National Park.

It's the most accessible country in the world for gorilla trekking, with permits and logistics far simpler than neighboring Rwanda or the DRC, and its national parks see a fraction of the crowds found in Kenya or Tanzania — making for a genuinely intimate safari experience.
