UGANDA TRAVEL & GORILLA TREKS

Uganda is a beautiful, landlocked central African country, blessed with great lakes, beautiful scenery, hospitable people and great opportunities for gorilla and chimpanzee treks and expeditions.

The country is making strides after years of civil unrest, but organising a Uganda safari is still not as easy to a tour to neighbouring Tanzania or Kenya, but if the traveller is intent on exploring the tropical rain forest habitats and tracking down the great primates, then Uganda is your destination.

Sound ecotourism policies and the allure of the great silverbacks and mountain gorillas have played a large role in restoring traveller confidence in Uganda, while white water rafting and sport fishing are also becoming increasingly important drawcards for Uganda toursim.

The main destinations for a Uganda safari are Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, which is home to half of the world's population of Mountain Gorillas, while Kibale Forest has the largest concentration of over 500 chimpanzees, while the famous Murchinon Falls on the Nile River are a truly spectacular sight.

The main arrival point into Uganda is the international airport between Kampala and Entebbe, which is linked by air to neighbouring East African countires of Kenya and Tanzania, or from Johannesburg or London..
