Uganda Gorilla Safaris
Uganda is a small country, at least by African standards, Uganda has a very different feel to the rest of the continent. It is a fertile, land locked gem, that has much more to offer than gorilla tracking, the main reason most people visit.
In Uganda you will find some of Africa's most unique animals; including the Ugandan Kob, tree-climbing lions and the poacher-adapted elephants that have lost their tusks and ofcourse gorilla's.
In the west lie the Mountains of the Moon and the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, while Mount Elgon and the beautiful Sipi Falls lie in the east. Further south, however, lie Uganda's greatest attraction, the great Virunga Mountains, where it is possible to see some of the last 650 of the world's Mountain Gorillas. Here you can go Gorilla Tracking. Uganda is truly, in the words of Sir Winston Churchill, The Pearl of Africa.
A visa is required by UK passport holders.
No mandatory vaccinations, except Yellow Fever if arriving from/via an infected country.
