Experience Uganda: what to see, what to do
Winston Churchill called Uganda the Pearl of Africa and is home to one of the most diverse ranges of fauna and flora in the continent. Where else can you see the endangered mountain gorilla? Wildlife is just the beginning of your adventures while on holidays in Uganda.
Essentials in Uganda
Gorillas: Only a few tourists are allowed near the gorillas per day and your gorilla tracking permit must be applied for very early to ensure you get one through the Uganda Wildlife Authority. The best place to find them? Mgahinga Gorilla National Park and Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.
Jinja: Located on the banks of the beautiful Victoria Lake, Jindra is the source of the Nile River. The most popular thing to do here? White water rafting on one of the greatest rivers in the world! Body surf, raft or kayak through the rapids… it's a blast!
Ssese Islands: For some real peace and solitude while visit Uganda, head to the Ssese Islands in Vicotira Lake. They have excellent beaches with jungles tame enough to explore on your own. If you swim, beware that there is bilharzia in the lake.
