With its pleasant climate all year round and relatively short distances that allow you to experience the country's great diversity in just a few weeks, Uganda is a very enjoyable country to travel in. The impact of mass tourism is limited, and the relationships you build with the local population are imbued with authenticity. Sometimes shy, Ugandans are very courteous and hospitable. Travelers familiar with Africa readily claim that the welcome here is unique. Although some regions of the country are still far from tourist circuits, you can elsewhere stroll peacefully in cities as well as in the countryside, where traditions remain vibrant. You will never be harassed, and even though usual safety precautions remain necessary, know that you can trust without fear.

Exploration of Spectacular Landscapes
Geographically located at the border of East Africa and Central Africa, crossed by the Great Rift, Uganda offers an infinite variety of landscapes within a relatively small area. Vast expanses of savanna are traversed by Africa's iconic mammals in the Queen Elizabeth and Murchison Falls parks, lush equatorial forests, and volcanoes emerging from the mist at the borders of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda. Sparkling crater lakes, small islands on Lakes Victoria and Bunyonyi, the snow-capped peaks of the Rwenzori Mountains (Mountains of the Moon), or the desert plains of the east all provide breathtaking scenery. But Uganda is also the country of the Nile, the longest river in the world, which emanates from Lake Victoria and whose tumultuous course is punctuated by impressive falls, cataracts, and rapids.
Discover an Exceptional Wildlife
The country's landlocked situation, its numerous water resources, and the diversity of landscapes encourage the presence of a large number of animal and plant species, some of which are endemic. Of course, many come to Uganda to see the famous mountain gorilla. However, in just a few days of safari, one can also see lions, including the famous "tree-climbing" lions of Ishasha, leopards, elephants, giraffes... There are also about 1,000 bird species of all sizes and colors, making Uganda an absolute paradise for ornithologists. They will very easily be able to observe the very rare shoebill. It is hard not to become fascinated by the birdlife during a stay in the "pearl of Africa."
Discover a multitude of activities in Uganda
Walk through the equatorial forest in search of gorillas and chimpanzees, go on 4x4 safaris in large national parks, birdwatch, hike and trek in the Rwenzori and Mount Elgon range, and enjoy canoeing or horseback riding. Uganda is a paradise for nature lovers. For thrill-seekers, head to the "source" of the Nile for an unforgettable day of rafting on the wild river. Also, be aware that some lakes are suitable for swimming.
