Uganda is a green oasis in the heart of Africa, where the plains of the eastern savannah meet the Congolese rainforest. Given its location and hugely diverse habitat, from open savannah, snow-capped mountains, semi desert and of course forest, Uganda can offer some incredible wildlife experiences. The country has some of the richest primate habitats in Africa and trekking mountain gorillas and chimpanzees in lush, prehistoric rainforests is one of the highlights of any trip here.
However, Uganda is also considered by many to be the best bird watching destination in Africa and with over 1000 species recorded and several bird-rich habitats that are hard to reach elsewhere, even those with little interest in birds will find the colourful turaco’s and the elusive shoebill a real treat.
There are also more traditional plains game to be found in Uganda’s National Park, where you find lions that climb trees, chimpanzee’s in gorges and the handsome Ugandan Kob. In addition to this, 1200 species of butterflies, some of the largest crocodiles on the Nile and a huge number of chameleons make Uganda one of the most colourful and alluring wildlife destinations for those looking for something different.
The aim of this particular tour is not only to see the great apes and wildlife in their fragile environment, but also to allow visitors to gain a deeper understanding of the complex issues that local people and wildlife face.
