Uganda, in the heart of East Africa, is a wonderful land of natural
beauty and diverse attractions. The landscapes ranges from snow capped
mountain peaks through grass and woodland savannah, rainforests to arid
semi-desert, as well as wetlands of international importance. Notable
in all this diversity is that Uganda is well worth a visit by the traveler.
Bordering
Kenya to the East and the Democratic Republic of Congo to the west Uganda
is ideally situated to benefit from both animal and plant species of
East and West Africa in addition to having a wide variety of indigenous
species. In Western Uganda, the mountain ranges of the Rwenzoris and
Virungas extend into the D.R.C, formerly known as Zaire. On its eastern
border lies Mount Elgon, an ancient, extinct volcano.
A
third of Uganda is covered by water. The many lakes and rivers include
Lake Victoria, the largest lake in Africa, and the River Nile from its
legendary source. In contrast, northern Uganda is arid, giving rise
to special types of Flora and Fauna not found elsewhere.
The
wildlife to be seen in Uganda is sensational with more than 3000 species
of birds. Anglers too can enjoy an abundance of fish in the many lakes
and rivers that are an intrincic part pf the country. Special interest
safaris such as Gorilla Tracking, Whitw Water Rafting on the River Nile,
Banjee Jumping and many other trips are available for those who are
out for raw adventure. Below are some of the safaris that can be booked
