TRAVEL GUIDE
UGANDA - MOUNTAINS OF THE MOON
Uganda is a landlocked country straddling the equator in East Africa. It is home to Lake Victoria and many of the world's last surviving Mountain Gorillas. 
These gorillas represent perhaps the most powerful eco-image that the
country has to offer. There is however much more to Uganda than this;
it has a fantastic climate, an ever-changing and beautiful landscape,
and people who are honest, polite and genuinely pleased to help.
For the visitor, highlights of any visit to Uganda could include:
gorilla tracking, other primate tracking, i.e. chimps and colobus
monkeys, white water rafting on the River Nile, climbing The Ruwenzoris
or Mount Elgon, cultural events and birding.

Our selected regions in Uganda...  |  Bwindi Impenetrable ForestThis park is located in southwestern Uganda, covering parts of Rukungiri, Kisoro, and Kabale Districts. It is situated in hilly countryside, which, together with some remnant lowland forest outside the boundary, constitutes an important water catchment area for many rivers, supplying the agricultural land of the surrounding region. |
 | Entebbe And Kampala Entebbe is situated on the shores of Lake Victoria, about 30 km from the capital city, Kampala that was until 1962 the administrative capital of the country. Very quiet compared with bustling Kampala, it is a rather pretty town, built on a number of small hills that slope down to the shores of the lake. |
 | Kibale Forest Kibale, 766 km2 is one of Uganda's enchanting forested parks. Here, visitors can hike in the park for hours observing the drama of life in a rain forest. |
 | Murchison Falls National Park This is the largest National Park in Uganda with an area of 3840 km2. The River Nile divides the park into the north and south sectors and forms Falls where it flows over the western rift valley escarpment. Here, the river is forced through a 3-metre gap in the rocks and cascades into a boiling pot 30 metres below. A boat cruise up-stream to the falls provides an unforgettable experience. |
 | Queen Elizabeth National Park The park spreads over an area of 1978 km2 in the western arm of the Great East Rift Valley. It is a home to a variety of wildlife including elephant, lion, hippo, buffalo, Uganda cob, baboon, and a huge number of bird species. |
| Semliki National Park Semliki National Park, contains a secluded forest area at the base of the Ruwenzori Mountains on the border of The Democratic Republic of The Congo. The park's out of the way location makes it an ideal place to spend a few days relaxing away from the rest of the world. |
Not to be missed in Uganda...  | Private Guiding The Pulse Africa Way PRESS RELEASE: Exclusive African safari consultants, Pulse Africa, are expanding their services to their clients, by creating a private guiding division. |
 | Ngamba Island In Africa, approximately 5,000 chimpanzees are killed by poachers for the bushmeat trade every year. As a by-product of this illegal practice, dozens of infant chimpanzees are taken alive from forests, bound for the pet trade throughout Africa and the rest of the world. As a measure to compliment the legal enforcement efforts of the Ugandan Wildlife Authority against this undesirable trade, establishing a refuge with a specific mission for these orphaned chimpanzees was inevitable. |
 | Fishing Escapade On The Nile Apart from the chimpanzees and an unforgettable boat cruise up-stream to the Falls, one of the greatest attractions of Murchison Falls National Park (Uganda's largest National Park) is sport fishing in The River Nile for Nile Perch, which can weigh up to 100 kg... |
 | Gorillas Of The Impenetrable Forest Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, located in south-western Uganda is one of the largest natural forests in East Africa and contains both montane and lowland forest. It supports a large number of plants and animals endemic to the region, but most notably half of the world's population of Mountain gorillas. |
