Although not as endowed in terms of wildlife density and variety as her neighbours Kenya and Tanzania, Uganda offers spectacular landscapes, incredible birdlife and authentic cultural encounters with one of the friendliest people in Africa. A journey through Uganda will present you with ever-changing views of iconic African savannah, stunning waterfalls, snow-capped and rugged mountains, intensely farmed rolling hills with picturesque villages, carpet-like tea country, breathtaking volcanoes and countless lakes.

Uganda is quite unlike any other African country. With its wonderfully lush vegetation, terraced hills, beautiful mountains, open plains and a different view around each corner it really offers a bit of everything. Unique wildlife like the Uganda kob, giant forest hog and the extraordinary shoebill stork go hand in hand with villages full of smiling, waving children.

Enjoy a leisurely cruise and explore the small and laidback villages along the shores of Lake Victoria, Africa’s largest lake, taste the thrill of Africa’s most challenging white water rafting on the Nile River, watch hippos, crocodiles and buffaloes on a relaxing boat safari in Queen Elisabeth, walk along the thundering Murchison Falls, explore the hardly trekked wilderness of Mt Elgon, swim across the border from Uganda to Rwanda in the crater lake on top of one of the scenic Mgahinga Volcanos or climb above the snowline in the mighty Rwenzoris. And on top of all this, experience an awesome encounter with our closest relatives, the Chimpanzees and the endangered Mountain Gorillas.

At the end of your safari, relax at one of Tanzania's beautiful offshore islands , where beaches take centre stage and tropical coral reefs are shoaled by bright Indian Ocean fish.
