Best Time to Visit

Uganda

Uganda stands out as a lush, green oasis in a largely arid continent. Its dense forests are a sanctuary for some of the planet’s last mountain gorillas. Visitors from around the globe come to spend a captivating hour observing these magnificent creatures as they feed, groom, rest, and play. Consider a safari in Queen Elizabeth National Park, where you have the opportunity to spot the Big Five, including the unique tree-climbing lions. Boat trips along the Ishasha River offer sights of water birds, hippo pods, and elephants along the riverbanks. Alternatively, a guided trek through Kibale Forest National Park might lead you to its diverse primate population, including chimpanzees, red colobus, L’Hoest’s monkeys, and grey-cheeked mangabeys.
