Uganda
Named after the historic Buganda Kingdom and famously dubbed “The Pearl of Africa” by Winston Churchill, Uganda is a destination of rare diversity and refined adventure.
Here, mist-covered rainforests meet golden savannahs, shimmering lakes, and the snow-capped peaks of the Rwenzori Mountains. The country protects over half of the world’s remaining mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, offering one of the most profound wildlife encounters on Earth. In Kibale National Park, chimpanzee tracking elevates Uganda’s status as Africa’s primate capital.
Beyond the forests, classic safari unfolds in Queen Elizabeth National Park and other savannah reserves, where lions, elephants, and leopards roam in uncrowded landscapes.
Culturally vibrant and warmly welcoming, Uganda blends authenticity, comfort, and extraordinary wildlife into one seamless journey — Africa at its most intimate and rewarding.
