UGANDA - THE PEARL OF AFRICA

Situated on the second-largest freshwater lake in the world, at the source of the mighty River Nile, Uganda is consistently recognized as a country of cultural diversity and abundant natural beauty and is often described as ‘The Pearl of Africa.’ The country is also world-famous for the rare and endangered highland mountain gorillas of Africa, which today exist primarily in only two locations: the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in Uganda and the Virunga Conservation Area (VCA). The VCA contains three national parks and eight partially active volcanoes stretching from Rwanda and Uganda to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). More than 1,200 mountain gorillas live in this region, with half of that population residing in the Bwindi Impenetrable NP and the remainder living in the Mgahinga Gorilla National Park and neighboring countries. The ancient tropical rainforests of Bwindi are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, date back to before the last ice age, and provide the fantastic backdrop for a once-in-a-lifetime gorilla tracking adventure. Today, that safari adventure is considered the ultimate ‘Bucket List’ experience in Uganda, right next to visiting the equally famous chimp troops of the Kibale National Park.

In addition to ancient volcanoes and forests, the River Nile begins its 6,600 km journey to the Mediterranean Sea in Uganda, passing through golden rolling savannahs and arid semi-deserts sprinkled with rocky escarpments before finally reaching the deserts of Egypt. Here, the discerning traveler can explore natural wonders not found anywhere on the planet, such as the mist-shrouded Rwenzori mountains, also known as the ‘Mountains of the Moon’ or the famous Murchison Falls National Park, with its vast 43-meter falls of white water crashing into the lightly wooded savannah below, and onwards to the valleys and golden grasslands of the Kidepo Valley National Park, teeming with wildlife.

Uganda offers ten very distinct National Parks: from the snow-capped peaks of the Rwenzori Mountains to tracking chimpanzee troops in the Kibale National Park below, gorilla tracking in the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, pursuing the tree-climbing lions of Ishasha in the Queen Elizabeth National Park, whitewater rafting on the River Nile near Jinja, and sport fishing on Lake Victoria. The opportunities for exploration and adventures are indeed limitless.
