Uganda Best Safari Tours

The People
Uganda is the country where East and West Africa meet, featuring lush forests inhabited by primates and arid savannas which are home to a wide array of plain game.

Lakes, mountains, tea plantations, and waterfalls are some of the landmarks that made an impression on Winston Churchill when he traveled here, leading him to refer to it as “The Pearl of Africa”.

Every traveler knows how the attitude of local people can influence the experience when visiting a new country.

When going somewhere new, we want to learn about other ways of living, we want contact with new cultures, we want to connect with people whose lives are so different but somehow so similar to ours. People in Uganda are friendly, open, and curious with a great sense of fun.

Gorilla Trekking in Uganda
Primates are so amazing that we often forget about some of the other incredible wildlife that lives in Uganda.

However, I was thrilled to see herds of water buffalo in Queen Elizabeth National Park and watch hippos and elephants playing in the water of the Kazinga Channel. I took hundreds of photos of colorful birds, lazy crocodiles and elegant antelopes. If you are luckier than I was, you could even spot the famous tree-climbing lions in Ishasha and if you are outrageously lucky the even more elusive leopard!
