Uganda

The Pearl of Africa — mountain gorillas, chimpanzees, Murchison Falls and the source of the Nile.

Uganda delivers a truly green Africa — gorilla trekking in Bwindi, chimpanzee tracking in Kibale, tree-climbing lions in Ishasha, and the thunderous Murchison Falls where the Nile forces through a 7-metre gap.
