Why you should travel to Uganda?

Winston Churchill a former British prime minister in 1907 penned down the statement that “For magnificence, for variety of form and colour, for profusion of brilliant life-bird, insect reptile, beast – for vast scale – Uganda is truly the pearl of Africa”, and more than a century later the statement still manifests.
Uganda is notably one of the world’s most biodiverse countries, habituating 13 types of primates and 330 different mammal species, with six of which are found nowhere else, the country is home to over 1000 bird species and also encompasses the vast range of landscape that varies from the Africa’s highest mountain ranges to the source of the world’s longest river, River Nile, and harbors the largest lake on the continent, Lake Victoria.
When it comes to a Family Safari to East Africa, Uganda is a wise and wonderful choice, though most people think of Tanzania and Kenya. Uganda is a better choice since the country offers one more thing that cannot be found in the other two countries, though countries like Rwanda and Democratic Republic of Congo may offer the same experience.
Uganda is home to half of the world’s endangered Mountain Gorilla population, and the magnificent primates inhabit the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, and the Mgahinga National Park in the western part of the country. A family safari to Uganda will offer you a chance to trek these magnificent primates in their dense forested habitats which is only thrilling and memorable and one of the strong reasons for visiting the country by many tourists.
