Uganda Tours
- Gorilla Trek
- Murchison National Park
- Lake Victoria
There is sometimes a strange and unexpected reward for places isolated by political climate or conflict: blockades and war zones don't apply to nature. Having suffered civil war, Idi Amin's bloody rule and decades of ethnic conflict, Uganda has finally found its silver lining, as off-limits areas have become havens to wildlife that might otherwise have perished. Its most famous residents are the critically endangered Mountain Gorilla, of which half the world's surviving population lives in Uganda's Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Aside from gorillas, chimps and the 'big five,' accessible, affordable Uganda is also the much-sought after source of the Nile River, as mythical as ever - now for its whitewater rafting and kayaking.
