Famous for its mountain gorillas, Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and the source of the Nile River, Uganda offers a truly unforgettable travel experience.

Tourists flock to Uganda for gorilla trekking, thrilling safaris in Queen Elizabeth National Park and exhilarating white-water rafting on the Nile.
