Uganda is a prime destination that every first timer to Africa would wish to start with. It is located in the Eastern part of the African continent, share borders with Kenya in the east, Tanzania in the south, Rwanda in the south west, Democratic Republic of Congo in the West and South Sudan in the north.

This destination has a lot to marvel whether you wish to get lost into a lively city, treat yourself to a swim in turquoise waters, stand in awe with the stunning natural sceneries or wonder at the naturally endowed rich Wildlife in its protected areas, witness the endangered primates of mountain Gorilla species while on a Gorilla Safari among others.
