Gorilla Trekking in Uganda
Uganda is home to half the world's Mountain Gorilla population. Seeing these animals up close in their natural habitat is one of the most impressive wildlife encounters in Africa. …
1. Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park: arguably the most powerful wildlife experience on Earth. Hike through thick forests and hang out with some of the last remaining Mountain Gorillas in the wild.
2. Chimpanzee Trekking in Kibale National Park: visit our closest living ancestors in the wild. You can't help but notice the similarities between them and us - and they have a dark side that's even more captivating.
3. Uganda Safaris across the country: game drives, boat safaris, and all the wildlife you could dream to find on safari.

4. Trekking snow-capped peaks in the Rwenzori Mountains: verdant shrubbery and forest passes morph into an alpine dreamscape as you ascend. Surrounded by snow and ice, it's hard to believe you're still in Central Africa.
5. White-water Rafting in the rapids of the Nile River: as the Nile flow upland from Lake Victoria, a 20km stretch of river near the town of Jinja is the country's adrenaline capital.
6. Trekking and Hiking in the national parks: from the summit hikes in the Rwenzoris to light forest walks, Uganda's national parks offer plenty of hiking opportunities.

7. Visit the tree-climbing lions of Queen Elizabeth National Park: Uganda's most bio-diverse national park, the Ishasha sector of Queens is home to a group of big cats found overhead in their tree-top outposts.
8. Visit the wild, untamed vastness of Kidepo Valley National Park: in the far north of the country, to visit Kidepo is to journey into a remote pocket of Africa, totally secluded, far from civilisation.
9. Take some R&R at Bunyonyi and Mutanda: the two lakes in the deep south-west are perfect for relaxation and some light adventuring after a gorilla trek or safari.
10. Mountain biking, quad biking, and horse-riding at Lake Mburo National Park: typically the final stop along the south-west safari circuit, Mburo is a great place for adventure activities, and has a good diversity of wildlife.
