Uganda

Uganda is undoubtedly one of Africa’s true hidden gems, offering an impressive array of unforgettable experiences and a wide variety of breath taking natural landscapes just waiting to be explored. The lush, thriving forests of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park are home to the highest concentrations of primates on the planet, including half of the world’s last remaining mountain gorillas. Further North, the rolling grasslands of Queen Elizabeth National Park offer a more traditional East Africa style safari experience, boasting four of Africa’s Big Five but with far fewer visitors than Kenya or Tanzania. Uganda is also the pinnacle for many of the world’s birding enthusiasts visiting Africa, with it’s variation in habitats attracting over a thousand different species including the purple-breasted sunbird, dwarf honeyguide and the infamous shoebill - a highly sought after sight for the avid birder.
