 Uganda's
beauty, wildlife diversity, and friendly people
justify its reputation as "The Pearl of Africa".
Uganda's economy is one of the fastest growing
in Africa, with a total restructuring of its tourism
and conservation sectors. Uganda IS home to the
source of the Nile. It is in Uganda that the greatest
percentage of Mountain Gorillas and Chimpanzees
remain, with many other mammal species representative
of both East and Central Africa. Uganda offers
a truly exceptional natural experience!
Winston Churchill referred to Uganda as the “Pearl
of Africa” with its vast wilderness areas
and perhaps the continent’s most diverse
range of Wildlife. The country offers top wildlife
destinations, fantastic adventure holidays and
the best bird life anywhere. Its hidden valleys
and vast grass land plains were once the stamping
ground of the infamous elephant hunters.
From
the snow capped peaks of the Rwenzori Mountains,
to the awe-inspiring spectacle of Murchison
Falls, and from the Impenetrable Rain Forest
of Bwindi to the endless horizons of the central
plains, Uganda’s scenic diversity and
richness of the landscape compares favourably
with anywhere on the African continent. Uganda
is also sanctuary to such rare and unusual species
of wildlife such as Uganda Kob and the Shoebill
Stork, together with the magnificent Mountain
Gorilla as well as some of Africa’s largest
concentrations of Crocodile and Hippo.
The
Pearl of Africa is indeed a compelling destination
and we are delighted to extend to you an invitation
to follow in the foot steps of those early explorers
like Speke, Grant and unlock the secrets of
this priceless African gem. |
