Uganda

Rwanda has much to offer visitors such as the tracking of endangered mountain gorillas in the Virunga National Park. The park extended across the parks and jungle covered slopes of the volcanic Virunga Mountains. Other major tourist attractions include expansive Lake Kivu, the ancient Nyungwe Forest with its rich population of primate species, and the game-rich Savannah lands of Akagera National Park.

Uganda, or the ‘Pearl of Africa’, as it was famously dubbed by Winston Churchill, is characterized by relatively a flat savanna in the north, with mountains in the west, and dense and remarkably lush forests in the central region. The nation is home to an astonishingly diverse range of African wildlife including the highly endangered mountain gorilla which can be found in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. A popular spot for wildlife watching is Queen Elizabeth National Park, which hosts four of the Big Five, a flock of flamboyant flamingos and the rare tree-climbing lions of Ishasha.
