The Pearl of Africa

After 15 years of stability, tourists are now able to access one of Africa 's most beautiful countries-- Uganda . Deep in the heart of the continent, lush, green and tropical, it offers a complete and marked contrast to the open grassland plains of Kenya and Tanzania . Nick-named the "Pearl of Africa" by Winston Churchill, Uganda 's attractions are truly dramatic.

While it is most well known as a last haven for the great apes and one of the finest birding destinations, these descriptions are just part of Uganda 's attraction

Parks in Uganda

Without a doubt the main highlight of a trip to Uganda is tracking the mountain gorillas in the southwestern rainforests, either at Bwindi or Mgahinga national parks.
