Uganda

Language

English, Swahili and tribal languages.

Climate

Uganda's climate is tempered by cooling breezes from the mountains while the lowland areas and lake shores enjoy a warm climate. The rains fall mainly between March - May and October - November.

Adventure

Located astride the Equator, Uganda stands in the heart of Africa. With spectacular natural landscapes ranging from lakes, rivers, and low-lying highlands, forests and mountains, Uganda is often called the "Switzerland of Africa".

A tour to Uganda would not be complete without a visit to Murchison Falls, the source of the great River Nile; Queen Elizabeth National Park and the Mountains of the Moon. But it is visiting the gorillas at Bwindi and Mugahinga that offer the most exciting expeditions.
