Read More »To say that Uganda is a microcosm of Africa is not too far from the truth. Coined by Churchill as the “Pearl of Africa,” Uganda is a landlocked country with some of the best qualities of the African continent condensed into its territory. With the highest concentration of primates anywhere in the world, a major draw card is the gorilla trekking where travellers can visit the Bwindi Impenetrable forest for a chance to catch a glimpse of these magnificent creatures.
Uganda is also home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, including endangered chimpanzees, elephants, monkeys, and hippos to name a few. The Ugandan people are some of the friendliest in the world and their jovial nature and ubiquitous smiles ensure travellers are sincerely welcomed to their country. With much to see and do, a Uganda package tour overflows with unique and authentic experiences that get travellers directly in touch with the local people.
If it is adventure you seek, look no further. Uganda boasts superior whitewater rafting down the Nile around Jinja. If that’s not enough, travellers can also partake in horseback riding, trekking, cycling, kayaking or bungee jumping to satisfy your adrenaline rush. Although Uganda did suffer from a turbulent past, today it is a mostly stable country that is accessible and highly affordable. Don’t overlook the capital, Kampala, that is incredibly safe and just as friendly as the rest of the country. Uganda offers an incredible adventure that will remain with you long after you leave.
