Mountain gorillas, the source of the Nile, and some of East Africa's wildest parks — Uganda in full.
Uganda is the more adventurous cousin of Rwanda. Bwindi Impenetrable Forest has roughly half the world's mountain gorillas. Queen Elizabeth and Murchison Falls are classic savannah parks with tree-climbing lions and Nile-fed game. Kibale has the largest habituated chimpanzee population on the continent.
A proper Uganda trip takes 10 days or more — distances are long and drive days real. We fly between the main parks wherever possible, and overland only where the landscape earns it.
A UNESCO forest on the Rwandan and Congolese border. Home to over 400 mountain gorillas.
Savannah, crater lakes, and the famous tree-climbing lions of the Ishasha sector.

The Nile squeezes through a 7m gap in a rock wall. Boat cruises, hippos, shoebill storks.
