Why we went: “The stunning beauty of Uganda's steamy rainforests and sprawling savanna is a breathtaking backdrop for an adventure into the habitat of the magnificent mountain gorillas and chimpanzees. Trekking through some of Uganda’s most dense areas of jungle is a challenging, but incredibly rewarding experience and coming face-to-face with a mountain gorilla is a moment that you will cherish forever. Matched with cruising along the Kazinga Channel and on the Victoria Nile to watch the White Nile river at Murchison Falls being compressed into a very small space to create one of the most powerful waterfalls on Earth. This, and game drives through some of Uganda's most iconic national parks is a lottery win on the wildlife front. And, along the way, encounter the local's whose friendly smiles and sense of community is a warm welcome to Uganda”.
