Imagine standing on a beautiful, vast golf course that leads to a lake. That you are boxed in by a botanical garden where you hear various bird songs and the wild chatter of monkeys in the background. This wonderful paradise is Uganda in East Africa. Located in the center of Africa, Uganda is often a cultural melting pot with 30 indigenous languages ​​and 5 language groups. The rock paintings are evidence of the hunter-gatherer tribes that occupied Uganda when they occupied it. Today’s tribes and ethnic groups are offspring of centuries-old kingdoms, but still play a crucial role in the nation’s cultural identity.

For people looking for an exaggerated sense of risk, the Ugandan whitewater rafting experience in Jinja is the perfect joyride along the Nile. If you’re brave and tough, try trekking up Africa’s highest mountain range , the Mountains of the Moon, which are located within the Rwenzori National Park. In addition to the truly amazing scenery and diversity of wildlife, Uganda boasts of having half the world’s population of gorillas on its soil. Consider a closer look at these gentle giants by heading to Bwindi National Park which is home to less than 700 mountain gorillas. Many other primates such as the chimpanzee and the golden monkey can be seen within the Kibale forests. After taking a wildlife tour around Murchison Falls National Park, take a look at the mighty waters of the Murchison Falls where the strongest waves of the Nile River can be witnessed.

Tourists will find Uganda pleasurable throughout the year with the best tropical climate of 26°C during the day and 16°C at night. Travel in the north and north-east of Uganda is inadvisable due to banditry and attacks that pose a significant risk to anyone in those areas.
