The Pearl of Africa
🇺🇬 Uganda
About Uganda
Churchill called Uganda the Pearl of Africa — and the country earns every syllable. Dramatically green, staggeringly diverse, and still genuinely off the beaten path. Uganda offers the world's finest primate experience: gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, chimpanzee tracking in Kibale (the primate capital of the world), and the famous tree-climbing lions of Ishasha. Beyond the primates, Murchison Falls is one of Africa's most powerful waterfalls, and the Kazinga Channel boat cruise is among the best wildlife boat experiences on the continent.
