Chimps, Wildlife and Fishing Safari
Chimps, Wildlife and Fishing Safari
Uganda, known as “the Pearl of Africa,” boasts a striking landscape with flat savannahs in the north, lush mountains in the west, and dense forests in the central region. It is home to an incredible diversity of wildlife, including the highly endangered mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and four of the Big Five in Queen Elizabeth National Park, where you can also spot rare tree-climbing lions. Adventure seekers can enjoy white-water rafting, kayaking, hiking, and more, while the capital city offers a vibrant nightlife and cultural scene, earning Uganda the title of “Africa’s friendliest country.” With half of the world’s mountain gorillas residing here, visitors can engage in gorilla and chimpanzee habituation experiences, gaining unique insights into their behavior. The adventure is complemented by golden monkey tracking and a scenic boat cruise on Lake Mutanda.
