UGANDA
Venture to the magical landscapes of Uganda, a country that is perhaps most famous for the mountain gorillas that traverse its misty rainforests. Here, you’ll have a chance to view these iconic primates, along with Africa’s famed “Big Five” on a safari circuit; however, Uganda’s mighty landscapes are a main draw as well. With the towering Rwenzoris Mountains, the source of the iconic Nile River, and sprawling Lake Victoria, Uganda packs its relatively small borders with some of Africa’s most stunning scenery.
