Rather like its neighbour Rwanda, Uganda has shrugged off the dark shadows of the past and grown into one of the best safari destinations in Africa. This small, landlocked country packs one hell of a punch when it comes to bucket-list experiences. Famous for gorilla and chimpanzee trekking, Uganda also offers tree-climbing lions, large elephant herds, and over 1,000 bird species. Its landscapes are equally stunning — from misty mountains and rainforests to rivers, lakes, and savannah plains. Whether exploring Bwindi, Kibale, Queen Elizabeth, or Murchison Falls, Uganda is full of unforgettable wildlife, scenery, and adventures that will leave even the most indomitable travellers enthralled.
