About Uganda
The Pearl of Africa
A small, landlocked country straddling the equator between Kenya and the DRC, Uganda is one of Africa's most beautiful destinations — boasting an astonishing variety of scenery, culture and wildlife.
Primates & Wildlife
Uganda's variety of landscapes is as astounding as its biodiversity. Forested crater lakes give way to savannah and tropical rainforest. The glacial peaks of the Rwenzori Mountains, known as the "Mountains of the Moon," offer world-class hiking.
What truly makes Uganda a unique safari destination is its remarkable concentration of primates — the highest on earth. Home to over 5,000 chimpanzees and nearly half of the world's mountain gorillas, Uganda is the ultimate primate destination.
