Uganda

Uganda, located in the Great Lakes Region, is often called the Pearl of Africa. It’s home to the source of the Nile River, the world’s longest river, and boasts diverse landscapes, including the Rwenzori Mountains. With over 1,000 bird species and a variety of primates, including gorillas and chimpanzees, Uganda is a paradise for nature lovers. Explore Bwindi Impenetrable National Park for gorilla trekking or Queen Elizabeth National Park for tree-climbing lions. In Kampala, experience rich culture and history, while adventure seekers can enjoy adrenaline activities in Jinja, including bungee jumping and white-water rafting on the River Nile. Uganda shares borders with Kenya, South Sudan, Democratic Republic of Congo, Tanzania, and Rwanda.
