"For magnificence, for variety of form and color, for profusion of brilliant life - plant, bird, insect, reptile, beast - for the vast scale … Uganda is truly The Pearl of Africa."
Sir Winston S. Churchill. 1908
Situated in the heart of Africa, astride the equator, Uganda is the land where tropical rain forest meets rolling savannah, where shimmering lakes meet snowcapped mountains, and where the mighty Nile, the longest river in the world starts its journey from Lake Victoria to the Mediterranean sea.
Home to over half the world's population of the Mountain Gorillas and a host of other primate species and a wealth of other wildlife, African Buffalo, Bushbuck, Giant forest Hog, Lion, Leopard, Uganda Kob, Duiker, baboons, hippos, crocodiles & African Elephant. It is a microcosm of African wildlife and environments. It is in Uganda that you find the Rwenzoris, the fabled "Mountains of the Moon"; Murchison Falls; the Bwindi Impenetrable forest. From the naturalist point of view, this tiny nation is one of the most biologically diverse areas of Africa. With more than 1,000 species of birds, many of them characteristic of the central African rainforests, Uganda is a birder's paradise.
