Uganda

Uganda is undoubtedly the Pearl of Africa!

The first touristic attraction is the endangered mountain gorilla. Only 720 individuals survive on earth, living in the lushes Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and in the Virunga Mountains. A close encounter with these amazing creatures is one of the most emotional wildlife experiences that you can possibly have.

In Uganda there are five habituated gorilla groups. Each gorilla group is visited for only one hour a day by 6 people accompanied by rangers. Due to the very limited and controlled number of visitors, the permit must be purchased months in advance.

Also other primates are exceptionally well represented in Uganda.

Uganda is infact home of the man’s closest relative, the chimpanzee. You can see them at Kibale Forest, Budongo Forest and Queen Elizabeth National Park’s Kyambura Gorge. A community of orphaned chimps can be visited on Ngamba Island on Lake Victoria.
The rare Golden Monkey can be observed at Mgahinga National Park as well Black and White Colobus, Red Colobus and Blue Monkeys.
Uganda is the most complete bird watching destination of Africa with more than 1,000 species recorded.
Bwindi National Park, Queen Elizabeth National Park that alone has got a checklist of 606 species, Semliki National Park, Mabamba Swamp near Entebbe where you can see the elusive Shoebill, Kibale Forest and Murchison Falls National Park are the place where Mal d’Africa will take you for an amazing birding experience.

You can enjoy big game viewing, visiting the Queen Elisabeth National Park. The wide bio-diversity of habitats of this park offer an astonishing number of species - almost 100 types of mammals including the rare sitatunga can be spotted here.
This wonderful national park is particularly scenic with two lakes connected by a channel, with many volcanic craters, grassy plains, spectacular Candelabra Euphorbia trees and tropical forests. The main lodge is also beautifully positioned and offers a panoramic view over the Kasinga Channel.

Uganda offers not only wild life but one of the finest trekking in the world and in our opinion definitely the best in Africa. Rwenzori mountain range is a great challenge for mountaineers and trekking lovers. Trekking in the Rwenzori National Park you will feel as being in a superb botanical garden, with snow-capped peaks that will appear to you every time you turn in a new valley.
Once reached Margherita’ summit, the highest of the range, you can see Congo from one side and the whole of Uganda from the other!
It’s an amazing experience be on a glacier at 5106 m asl and at the same time almost on the equator line.

Water is abundant in Uganda: Murchison falls are impressive more for their power rather than size. The Nile River flowing course is interrupted by a narrow fissure, which forces the river through a gap just 7 meters wide. . Then the river spirals through another small gap to fall down 36 meters in a foaming torrent creating a very spectacular sight.
Bunyonyi is another idyllic place and it’s also the starting point for an adventurous Nile river rafting.

Uganda is a landlocked country, bordered by Sudan on the North, DRC on the west, Rwanda and Tanzania on the South, and Kenya on the East.
Much of the country lies between the lakes of Africa and receives abundant rainfall which is the main reason of the extremely diverse vegetation of Uganda.

The temperature is pleasant, from about 16° to 25° C in the south to 25°-30° C in the north with an excursion of about 8° - 10° during the night, especially in the Lake Victoria region.
The rainy seasons, usually begin in April and again in October. Little rain falls in June and December.
The dry season goes from December to February and from June to September. This is the best period for gorilla trekking and mountain climbing.
During the dry season you could have occasional thunderstorm.
