About Uganda

THE PEARL OF AFRICA

Uganda’s landscape is varied with savanna, lakes, swamps, mountains and forests. Uganda is where the East African Savannah Meets the West African Tropical Rain forests. The Western Arm of the Great East African Rift Valley added to this variation gives us a rich animal life with both the lions of the savanna and the primates of the forests. In addition to this you can find an abundance of different birds, Water Bodies, Swamps and mountains with over 1025 species recorded. In short, a Uganda safari can give you variation and amazing experiences.


The people of Uganda are in general friendly and welcoming. You can be sure to have children wave to you along the road in the countryside and will probably not leave the country without being asked “How are you muzungo?”. The word muzungo is used for westerners and means literally “aimless wanderer”. In Uganda 33 different local languages are spoken but you can get by on English since it is the official language and widely known.

Uganda has a rich & diverse culture that can bring something extra to your Uganda tour. Possible visits include for example the Karamojong cattle herders in the north or a Batwa culture experience in the south to see how this indigenous people used to live in Uganda’s forests. Along the way a village walk or stop in a market brings a feeling for Ugandan countryside life.
