Once described as 'the Pearl of Africa' by Winston Churchill, Uganda is a land of extraordinary contrasts, a land blessed with outstanding beauty, rich in cultural history and biodiversity.
Its reputation as 'Africa's friendliest country' is not only accredited to its likeable people, but also to its redevelopment as an eco-friendly environment, with the enlightened management of 10 national parks, and its introduction of eco-tourism projects.
Uganda's star attraction is the endangered mountain gorilla the bulkiest of living primates, and among the most amiable. Looking into the pensive brown eyes of these gentle giants, is as humbling as it is thrilling' especially when one realises that fewer than 700 individuals survive, divided between Bwindi National Park and the Virunga Mountains.
Accommodation in Uganda varies from luxurious retreats to eco-friendly lodges, ensuring that the adventurous spirit is inherent to this unique destination, complemented by a full range of creature comforts, fine cuisine and friendly service.
