Uganda’s reputation as a world-class safari destination is well deserved. It is home to some of Africa’s most iconic wildlife, including the endangered mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Trekking through the lush forest to see these gentle giants in their natural habitat is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that has become a must-do for travelers to Uganda. For those seeking a more traditional safari experience, Queen Elizabeth National Park is one of the most popular wildlife reserves in the country, offering a diverse range of animals including elephants, lions, leopards, and buffaloes. The park’s boat cruise along the Kazinga Channel provides a rare opportunity to spot hippos, crocodiles, and a variety of bird species in their natural surroundings.
