Nicknamed the "Pearl of Africa" but not often thought of as a typical holiday destination, Uganda is home to breath-taking savannas, exquisite landscapes, snow-capped mountains, and much more. There truly is something for everyone.

Scratch the surface and you'll find ten national parks, where you can take a safari experience to spy the Big Five (lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants, and African buffalos). Or, go on a guided trip to see chimpanzees and gorillas—more than half the world's population live in Uganda—in the wild. Explore Uganda's eight major rivers or 165 lakes on a rafting adventure, hike the mystical Rwenzori mountains, or immerse yourself in the vibrant local city life of Kampala and Fort Portal.
