“For magnificence, for variety of form and colour, for profusion of wildlife – bird, insect, reptile, beast – for vast scale – Uganda is truly ‘the Pearl of Africa’. The Kingdom of Uganda is a fairy tale. The scenery is different, the climate is different and most of all, the people are different from anything elsewhere to be seen in the whole range of Africa... what message I bring back... concentrate on Uganda”. So wrote Winston Churchill in his 1908 book “My African Journey”. We take you on your African journey to discover these things that so excited Churchill. This tour completes a circuit that covers most of the country, and includes all the highlights - trekking in indigenous forests to see wild gorillas and chimpanzees, boat trip on the Nile, tree climbing lions in Queen Elizabeth National Park, an endless variety of animals and plants, and the warm and friendly people that make Uganda special. Weather, roads, and other local conditions can vary enormously, and will influence the route chosen on each tour. We may run the tour in reverse if required, so you should be flexible in this regard. To make the most of Uganda you will need an open mind and a spontaneous disposition, but if you come prepared you are set for a remarkable experience. Clients fly in to / out of Entebbe airport. Transfers and pre / post tour accommodation can be booked through Drifters for the Lake Heights Hotel, near Entebbe, or Kalagala Falls Camp near Jinja. Meals are available.
