Once described as 'the pearl of Africa' by Winston Churchill. More than a century later Uganda still packs a punch with a rich tapestry of landscapes, excellent wildlife watching and, its most iconic experience, gorilla trekking.
Diverse and resplendent nature looms large in this east African country. Along with the Big Five (lion, leopard, rhino, buffalo and elephant), Uganda boasts tree-climbing lions, the Nile crocodile, over 1,000 bird species, the chance to see chimpanzees and the highest population of mountain gorillas in the world.
A quarter of Uganda is covered by lakes and rivers, including the mighty Nile and the world's second-largest freshwater lake, Victoria.Kibale...
Uganda has a warm tropical climate, apart from the mountainous areas which are much cooler. The best time for trekking is during the dry seasons of January- February or June to August, while wildlife viewing is best at the end of drier periods.
Flights from the UK to Entebbe, operate via Johannesburg in South Africa or the Middle East and usually take around 131⁄2 hours.
