The Pearl of Africa

Discover What Uganda Has to Offer

The moment you step off the plane onto Uganda’s soil, your senses come alive. From trekking through dense jungle to spot mountain gorillas, to watching thousands of flamingos take flight across a crimson lake — the question is never what to do, but how to fit it all in.

In 1907, Winston Churchill famously called Uganda a “pearl”. That description holds truer today than ever. Unlike the crowded trails of Kenya and Tanzania, Uganda offers you a deeply personal safari — the wildlife, the silence, and the wild are yours alone.

"This whole region — the Great Rift Valley with its lakes, game plains and precipitous escarpments, the glaciated Rwenzori and the Virunga volcanoes, the mountain forests above 3,000m — present some of the most dramatic and beautiful scenery in Africa." — Leonard Beadle, Ecologist, 1930 Lake Edward Expedition
