Uganda Unveiled – 8 – Days Scheduled Safari
A Customizable Trip to Uganda — 8 Days / 7 Nights
Highlights
Searching for endangered Mountain Gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, chimpanzee tracking in Kyambura Gorge, and multiple game drives in Queen Elizabeth National Park with its amazing selection of wildlife – including tree climbing lions – are just some of the very best reasons to visit Uganda. With professional guides and custom made safari vehicles – this fully hosted eight day safari through the Pearl of Africa is really something special.
About this Safari
Uganda, deservedly dubbed the Pearl of Africa, is located in the Great Lakes Region in central Africa and boasts an ecological diversity that rivals many larger countries. Here, Eastern Savannah meets West African jungle. Uganda really does offer visitors incredible diversity with its multitude of varying ecosystems. Bordered by the Rwenzori Mountains (often called the Mountains of the Moon, the 3rd highest in Africa), the Virunga Mountains, and Africa’s largest lake, Lake Victoria, it’s a beautiful country bursting with bird and wildlife.
In no other African destination can one see a comparable variety of primates with so little effort – not just the great apes but also more than ten monkey species. And, if Uganda will have primate enthusiasts grinning with satisfaction, it will have birdwatchers doing cartwheels. Uganda is, by far, the smallest of the four African countries in which more than 1,000 bird species have been recorded and it is particularly rich in western rainforest specialists – undoubtedly the finest bird watching in Africa.
