Where gorillas meet the source of the Nile in Africa's pearl
In the heart of Africa, Uganda captivates with mountain gorilla encounters, chimpanzee tracking, and the mighty Nile – offering diverse wildlife experiences in one spectacular destination.
"We were blown away by Uganda's incredible diversity," wrote a recent visitor. "One day we were trekking through misty forests to meet mountain gorillas, the next we were watching the Nile's thunderous rapids. The warmth of the Ugandan people and the sheer variety of experiences made this our favorite African adventure."
