Luxury tailor-made safari holidays in Uganda

Uganda is East Africa's undiscovered jewel, a landlocked country, bordered by Kenya, Sudan, Congo, Rwanda and Tanzania. Like many African countries, Uganda has had its share of internal strife, but after more than a decade of peace, Uganda's tourism is developing and holidays in Uganda are up on the list of every discerning traveller.

Straddling the equator, much of her southern border is dominated by Lake Victoria. It is a tremendously lush country, dotted with lakes and rivers (the most famous being the Nile) whist the west is fringed by the glacier-capped Ruwenzori Mountains making it an ideal safari holiday destination.

The economy is one of the fastest growing in Africa and significant work has been done to protect the country’s diverse range of wildlife - over the past 10 years seven additional national parks and an equal number of wildlife reserves have been gazetted.

From the snow capped peaks of the Ruwenzori Mountains to the awe-inspiring spectacle of Murchison Falls, and from the Impenetrable rainforest of Bwindi to the endless savannah of Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda's scenic diversity and landscape variety compares favourably with anywhere on the African continent.

Uganda is also sanctuary to an abnormally high number of rare and unusual wildlife species including the Uganda kob, the incredible shoebill stork, chimpanzees, the largest remaining population of magnificent mountain gorilla and good populations of leopard, elephant, buffalo, giraffe and lion.

Far from mass tourism, the beautiful scenery, wildlife diversity and friendly people that form the Uganda Experience more than justify its reputation as "The Pearl of Africa".

Do you only have a few days to spend and are solely focused on short gorilla trekking safari? Have a look at a trip to neighbouring Rwanda instead – Parc National des Volcans is only 2 hours from Kigali - ideal for a short “weekend with the gorillas”!
