Ugandan Adventures

Face to face encounters with some of the last mountain gorillas on earth. Tracking chimpanzees through lush tropical rainforests. Observing lions, elephant, leopard, hippo, wart hogs, a diverse collection of antelope and an incredible array of bird life. Cruising the Nile River to the base of the most powerful waterfall on earth or rafting down the class 5 rapids on the most thrilling white knuckle adventure ever. Bungee jump over the Nile River. Where in Africa are all of these incredible experiences available? Only in Uganda, the “Pearl of Africa”, an unspoiled paradise in East Africa. No other country in Africa offers such an incredible range of ecosystems and habitats, from semi-desert to tropical rain forest and the absolute perfect weather anywhere.

Uganda is a bird watcher`s paradise. With over 1000 species recorded, half the species on the continent, and is one of the few places where the elusive Shoebill stork can be found. Other highlights not to be missed include the spectacular Murchison Falls where the Nile squeezes through a 6-meter wide crack in the earth, creating the world`s most powerful waterfall. For those looking for an active experience, whitewater rafting and kayaking on the Nile River and challenging trekking in the “Mountains of the Moon”, the Rwenzoris.

Uganda is one of the friendliest, safest and least expensive African countries to visit. With the memories of its civil unrest long behind it, Uganda's economy is growing in leaps and bounds and this is evident in the positive attitude of the people. Uganda`s infrastructure has largely been rebuilt and many lovely new lodges and hotels are available for a wide range of tastes and budgets.  Uganda provides excellent value with prices 20-30 percent less than those in neighboring Kenya and Tanzania.
