Beyond the renowned and endangered mountain gorilla, Uganda is blessed with breathtaking landscapes and extraordinary wildlife.
This beautiful Central African country sits at the crossroads of West African jungle and East African savannah, making it a melting pot of wildlife, landscapes and culture and a thoroughly rewarding holiday destination.
When Winston Churchill released his 1908 book, My African Journey, he described Uganda as the ‘Pearl of Africa’, which is the perfect metaphor for a country so rich in splendour. Considered one of Africa’s finest birding countries with over 1,000 species, its ten national parks and reserves are also home to lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant and almost half the world’s population of the endangered mountain gorilla. There are rare golden monkeys and chimpanzees making Uganda a wildlife enthusiast’s dream.
From the rugged ‘Mountains of the Moon’, home to Africa’s third highest peak, to the shores of Lake Victoria, Africa’s largest lake and long-sought source of the Nile; the rich biodiversity of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and the wildlife-rich Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda is nothing but surprising and its people warm and welcoming. All of this awaits on an A&K journey to Uganda.

Uganda can be visited all year round. Situated astride the Equator, the country enjoys a tropical climate with very little temperature variation throughout the year. The best time to visit is between June and September, during the country’s dry season when conditions are more favourable for gorilla tracking, although gorilla permit availability may determine when you travel. Migrant bird species are most abundant between November and April.
