Uganda is a country that rewards travelers who want their safari to go beyond the expected. Nicknamed the Pearl of Africa by Winston Churchill, it holds nearly half the world's remaining mountain gorillas, a healthy population of wild chimpanzees, tree-climbing lions found almost nowhere else on the continent, and the source of the Nile itself. Unlike the wide open plains most people picture when they think of an African safari, Uganda's landscape shifts constantly: dense rainforest gives way to rolling savanna, crater lakes appear between forested hills, and the Nile carves its way toward one of Africa's most dramatic waterfalls. For travelers who want primates alongside the Big Five, and a sense of discovery alongside comfort, Uganda offers a safari unlike any other on the continent.
