Uganda is the chance to experience at first
hand, the sights, sounds, scents, flora and
fauna often only glimpsed on TV or travel
books or magazines.
There are many attractions
to see the second largest lake in the world,
the longest river in the world, the gorillas,
the super-abundant bird life and the best
white water rafting experience in the world.
Who can resist the call of the magnificent
Mountains of the Moon and the simply marvelous
home grown Murchison falls, the mysterious
rain forests in Bwindi, Kibale and Semliki.
Uganda is ideal for a trip of discovery into
the most enthralling continent. It presents
a captivating combination of the wonders
of Nature, traditional customs and modern
attractions and not forgetting Gorilla's
and Chimpanzees.Getting to Uganda is so easy.
Entebbe International Airport is just 37
kilometers from Kampala. It is served by
international carriers from Europe, as well
as services to Nairobi, providing connections with Africa's biggest gateway.
Uganda's equatorial
climate is tempered by cooling breezes
from the mountains .The lush vegetation is
the result of bountiful rainfall in two rainy
seasons which fall around April and November.
Uganda offers unique experiences to all
that visit with us. The riotous color of
the vegetation, who's, who list, of African
bird life, the realization of how close the
gorillas and the chimps are to us as relatives. |
