Uganda

Uganda has got the cultural richness, all the savannah wild game, the primates in its pristine rainforest jungles (especially the more than half of the world’s mountain gorillas), the avian richness, mountains, and the striking landscapes all packed in its tininess.
This unique destination boasts of harboring an impressive number of vertebrates and other species not anywhere else in East and Southern Africa. Also, the accessibility of its significant forests by comparison to those in West Africa makes it an unbeatable destination for viewing African forest creatures — from mountain gorillas and chimpanzees to a colorful array of butterflies and birds — in their natural habitats.
The most distinguishing factor for Uganda from any other Africa safari destination is simply its relatively high proportion of closed-canopy forest. The dense growth embraces Afro-montane forests such as that found on Mount Elgon, which has strong similarities to similar habitats on Mount Kilimanjaro, Mount Kenya, and Semliki National Park—an easterly extension of the lowland rainforest that blankets the Congolese Basin and West Africa.
