12-Days Best Of Uganda

Uganda is a vastly underrated safari destination. True, it lacks the huge migratory herds associated with the likes of Tanzania and Kenya, but it more than compensates with its extraordinary diversity of tropical habitats, landscapes and wildlife. Despite being smaller than the United Kingdom or the US state of Michigan, Uganda is one of only two places where wild gorillas and chimps can be seen alongside all the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino). It also supports a staggering diversity of forest monkeys and a bird checklist of 1,080 species. A 12-day Uganda safari comfortably allows you to see the best of the country and its diverse wildlife on a compact road loop that runs west from the capital city Kampala and nearby Entebbe International Airport.
