About Uganda

The Pearl of Africa

A multicultural country in East Africa whose diverse landscape encompasses the snow-capped Rwenzori Mountains and immense Lake Victoria – the principal source of the great River Nile.

Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchil - “Uganda is a fairy-tale. You climb up and at the end there is a wonderful new world. The scenery is different, the vegetation is different, the climate is different, and, most of all, the people are different from anything elsewhere to be seen in the whole range of Africa … I say: ‘Concentrate on Uganda’. For magnificence, for variety of form and colour, for profusion of brilliant life – bird, insect, reptile, beast – for vast scale — Uganda is truly the pearl of Africa.”

Uganda has 10 national parks, where you can observe 330 species of mammals and over 1000 species of birds including many of the popular animals, we associate with Africa including Lions, Elephants, Rhinoceros, Hippopotamus, Giraffes, Gorillas and Chimpanzees.
