Uganda, the “Pearl of Africa”, gifted by nature has ten national parks known as the best of East Africa with a variety of flora and fauna. The parks offer ‘traditional’ savanna safaris along with boat tours, forest hikes, mountain climbing and wildlife research activities. Uganda is unrivalled on the continent as a bird watching destination with over 1,000 species of birds – several of which are found nowhere else on the planet. It is also home to 13 types of primates including over half of the world’s endangered mountain gorillas and the chimpanzees.
