Uganda is a land of contrasts. In half a day you can drive from mist-shrouded volcanic mountains to hot hazy savannah, dappled with wildlife. Serene undulating hills of tea plantations, lush but ordered, give way to tangled jungle and rainforest with the musical accompaniment of chaotic, cacophonous birdlife.

Let's go to Bwindi Forest, a dense rainforest, and the home of the majestic mountain gorillas. Here, embark on a gorilla trek and gorilla habituation experience.

We'll also take you to Queen Elizabeth National Park, the home of the famous tree-climbing lions in Uganda. In the park, spot wildlife and birds on game drives and a boat ride. On the game drives, you will be able to see animals such as elephants, buffaloes, antelopes, warthogs, baboons and many different bird species. During the boat ride on Kazinga channel, look for hippos, crocodiles, aquatic bird species, and other animals at the shores quenching their thirst and grazing.
