The Pearl Of Africa

Uganda showcases a diverse landscape featuring deep lakes, towering mountains, and lush rainforests, offering a habitat for unique wildlife not found elsewhere. With 54% of the world’s mountain gorillas, Uganda significantly contributes to global heritage, hosting these remarkable creatures mainly in the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (50% of the world’s mountain gorillas) and Mgahinga National Park.

Moreover, Uganda boasts an impressive 11% of the world’s bird species, totaling over 1060 bird species. Remarkably, this African nation, roughly the size of Oregon in North America or the UK in Europe, allows birdwatching enthusiasts to start their birding adventure right after arriving at the airport or crossing the border.
