Uganda is a beautiful country blessed by nature. There are an incredible number of tourist attractions, such as amazing nature parks, beautiful lakes and a large collection of wildlife, including the big 5 (Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Rhino and Buffalo). In addition, it is possible to spot the extremely rare mountain gorillas in the wild during a jungle trip, go rafting and enjoy the Ugandan sun. According to the Lonely Planet 2012, Uganda was the most attractive tourist destination in the world.
Safety:
Despite the fact that Uganda has a very turbulent history, it has been very stable and peaceful in recent years and people are very friendly. But of course, something can still occur. No need to worry though, because we will make sure you will travel and stay in a safe area. However, like everywhere else in the world, we can’t give you 100% safety guarantee. The necessary precaution and alertness are recommended as always when travelling abroad. Therefore, we will make you aware of all the do’s and don’ts in Uganda during our specific safety meeting.
