Rothschild Safaris | Uganda

Under-rated and under-appreciated, Uganda is truly one of the most stunning unspoiled frontiers of Africa, home to the chimpanzees of Kibale National Park & some of the world’s last remaining gorilla.

Hiking through the damp and humid Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, anticipation building in your chest as the arduous ascent continues may not seem to some like the ideal vacation pastime. But the resulting experience of witnessing a troupe of mountain gorilla in their natural habitat is beyond expectation, more than justifying every single footstep.Yet with spectacular waterfalls, sweeping grasslands, towering mountains and expansive lakes, there is so much to see and do in Uganda.

Come for the great apes, stay for the myriad other experiences. Former British Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill once declared Uganda ‘the pearl of Africa’, though with its rich rainforests, verdant grasslands and network of waterways - including the upper reaches of the Nile - perhaps ‘the emerald of Africa’ may have been more appropriate. Nature abounds throughout this lush and fertile nation, ranging across jungle, plains and snow-capped mountains in a country of warm hospitality, unique fauna and breathtaking vistas.
