Uganda is quickly gaining fame as a wonderful place to explore Africa, hosting a rich geography of wetlands, savannas and montane rainforests associated with the Albertine Rift, a high plateau where Africa’s great rivers are born and 20+ endemic bird species can be found.
From the shores of Lake Victoria to verdant forests skirting the beautiful Virunga Volcanos, Uganda hosts both a rich bird and mammal fauna. It offers a fascinating blend of the classic African safari with game drives, and the country retains some of the best forests remaining on the continent, its wild forest reserves are home to myriad beautiful birds, rare Mountain Gorilla, Chimpanzee, and other primates.
