With half the planet’s remaining mountain gorillas residing here, as well as the big five, wildlife watching is huge in Uganda. It boasts the home to the tallest mountain range in Africa, Rwenzori Mountains, the source that also feeds the world’s longest river and the continent’s largest lake.
Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is one of Africa’s most ancient habitats resulting in some 120 species of mammal and over 350 species of bird, and of course the highlight which is the gorillas – which is why most people come. Seeing these critically endangered creatures up close, is one not to be missed!
