Uganda
The Pearl of Africa
At the center of the continent, Uganda contains three of the most famous forests in Africa and is rich in wildlife. Sharing a border with Rwanda, it also shares the responsibility of conserving the critically endangered population of mountain gorillas and chimpanzees. The Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is home to these massive beasts and extends over a series of steep ridges as part of the Virunga Volcanoes Mountain Range, making it an incredible place for hiking.
As you adventure from the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest into Queen Elizabeth National Park, you will begin to experience even more biodiversity. This park is Uganda’s most popular because of its immense size and ability to house a wide variety of animal species and birds. You may spot tree-climbing lion lounging overhead or elephants migrating from the Kibale National Park, another worthwhile visit for spotting antelope, warthog, lion, leopard, golden cat, and others.
