About Uganda
The Pearl of Africa

Winston Churchill called it “The Pearl of Africa” — and the name still fits. Uganda is one of the most biodiverse countries on earth, where equatorial forests meet vast savannahs, volcanic lakes, and snow-capped mountains.

Home to over half the world’s remaining mountain gorillas, 13 primate species, the source of the Nile, and an extraordinary concentration of birdlife, Uganda offers experiences that simply cannot be found anywhere else in Africa.

From the dramatic Murchison Falls in the north to the mist-shrouded Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in the southwest, every corner of this compact country reveals something remarkable. And unlike East Africa’s more heavily touristed destinations, Uganda still feels like a genuine discovery.

“No one who looks into a gorilla’s eyes — intelligent, gentle, vulnerable — can remain unchanged.”
