Is the Highlights of Uganda Trip for Me?

Uganda is a fantastic country filled with beautiful experiences. The smell of rain on dry grass, the sound of the birds chirping in the forest, the taste of chicken mchomo and sweet potato hot off a roadside grill, the smile on your face as you walk through a village and talk to the locals, the wonder you feel at the sight of a group of Gorillas tumbling through the undergrowth. It’s the thrill as you walk through the forest, the amazement as you spot yet another incredibly decorative bird through the binoculars, or the sense of accomplishment when hiking the misty mountains. Uganda is a land of contrasts. Come and feel them all.
