About Uganda

Uganda, The Pearl of Africa

Welcome to Uganda, one of Africa’s most captivating travel gems. From lush rainforests to the roaring Nile River, Uganda promises unforgettable experiences for every type of traveller.

Uganda offers a holiday filled with endless adventure from wildlife safaris to gorilla trekking, white water rafting to river cruising, hiking to cultural immersion

 Gorilla Trekking in Uganda 

For those looking for a once in a lifetime experience, we highly recommend gorilla trekking, where you trek through the ancient forest of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park to encounter endangered mountain gorillas in their natural habitat, a truly humbling and unforgettable experience.  Uganda is one of the best destinations in the world for ethical gorilla trekking, offering small group tours that support local communities and conservation efforts.

 Uganda Safari Holidays are a must to see the Big Five in their natural habitat of untamed beautiful landscapes. There are a few different safari options by land or river cruise.   For land safaris choose from Queen Elizabeth National Park, Kidepo Valley National Parks or Lake Mburo and really immerse with nature. For relaxation and serenity, a late afternoon cruise along the River Nile offers an array of birds, hippos’ crocodiles and elephants. 

For cultural there are several tours that give visitors an interactive cultural experience where you meet local tribes to learn more about their music, traditional dress, cuisine and genuinely connect with Ugandans who make this country so warm and welcoming.

Uganda Airline now provides a direct flight from London Gatwick to Entebbe.
