A journey as beautiful as the destination.

Uganda

Uganda, famously called ‘the pearl of Africa’ because of her fairytale like landscapes also hosts tropical rainforests, thundering waterfalls, bustling cities, snow capped mountains, vast savannahs, clear lakes and abundant biodiversity.

Uganda is famous for its wildlife including mountain gorillas but it’s the energy in Uganda that we think makes it so special.

Uganda is home to over 50 tribes who speak over 40 languages with a range of different cultures, but it’s the peoples natural warmth and zest for life that they all share.

Uganda has something for everyone, whether your dream is hiking to some of Africa’s highest peaks, experiencing East Africa’s best nightlife, or relaxing on hidden islands.
