Top Uganda Experiences
- Coming face to face at close range with a band of mountain gorillas – and watching them interact with each other and, at times, with the human interlopers.
- Racing after a pack of playful chimpanzees in Kibale Forest National Park, which harbors the highest density of primates in the world.
- Visiting the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary to see the only white rhinos in the wild left in Uganda.
- Birding with more than 1,000 species, representing two-thirds of Africa’s avian population, filling Ugandan skies. (Watch for stork-like shoebills, wetland-loving wattled plovers, and crested cranes, whose images adorn the country’s coat of arms.)
- Meeting and mingling with Ugandans on their turf. Despite grinding poverty, the majority go through life with warm and welcoming smiles.
- Being amazed by images of men, women and children walking along roads balancing large, heavy loads upon their heads.
- Watching as men ride, and sometimes push, bicycles or motorbikes laden with items ranging from household utensils and bags of cooking charcoal to live goats and cages of squawking chickens.
- Marveling at the mountain scenery in the Rwenzoris, Africa’s highest mountain range, that add to Uganda’s reputation as the Switzerland of Africa.
- Boating along the White Nile to the foot of Murchison Falls, which roars out of a narrow gap in the rocks to drop 140 feet below.
- Taking a guided game drive in Queen Elizabeth National Park in eastern Uganda in search of rare tree-climbing lions.
- Discovering the incredible beauty of remote Kidepo Valley National Park in northern Uganda, and having it mostly all to yourself except for the wildlife.
