Located in the highlands of East Africa, Uganda offers a unique combination of incredible scenery shaped by volcanic activity over millennia. The result is a spectacular range of habitats, from active volcanoes and serene crater lakes, and on to the legendary Rwenzori Mountains, also known as ‘The Mountains of The Moon’.

Uganda’s lush jungles and highlands are home to some of the world’s best birding, and are also a major destination for those wishing to view primates of many types, including Mountain Gorillas, Chimpanzees and Golden Monkeys. In the west of the country, Queen Elizabeth National Park borders on Lake Edward, with the park home to legendary tree-climbing lions whose unusual behaviour makes for a rare safari experience.
