Uganda
The Pearl of Africa — mountain gorillas, chimps and the source of the Nile.
Why Uganda
Uganda packs an extraordinary range of ecosystems into a small country — from snow-capped Rwenzori Mountains to the savanna of Queen Elizabeth and the rainforests of Bwindi.
It is one of only three places on Earth to track mountain gorillas, and the best country in Africa for chimpanzee habituation experiences.
