The Pearl of Africa

Uganda is called the Pearl of Africa for good reason. It was Winston Churchill who sang the praises of its prolific natural treasures when he first visited in 1907. You can also find the magnificent and pre-historic looking Shoebill – in the main photo above.

It is a country of contrasts – extensive savanna eco-systems in the north to dense rainforests in the south and lots of water. The country is split into both the southern and northern hemispheres with the equator running right through it.

Uganda houses the full complement of African game; a huge variety of plains game and predators, one of the last strongholds of chimps and of course, mountain gorillas.

It really is a safari destination in its own right and we have done numerous dedicated safaris here over the years. It’s also sometimes included as a ‘gorilla add-on destination’ to safaris that have taken in other countries such as Tanzania and Rwanda. This might take the form of a primate specific safari in combination with Rwanda. It all depends upon your wishes.

Seasonal considerations are the same as Rwanda. The rainy months are April, May and November.
