Wildlife enthusiasts have long known that Uganda is East Africa's best kept secret, a lush and spectacularly fertile country with a wide diversity of habitats and host to a remarkable variety of mammals and birds with much more to offer than just gorilla tracking.
Ecologically Uganda is where the East African savannah meets the West African jungle. Where else can one observe lions prowling the open plains in the morning and track chimpanzees through the rain forest undergrowth the same afternoon, then the next day navigate tropical channels teeming with hippo and crocodiles before setting off into the misty mountains to stare deep into the eyes of a mountain gorilla? For those looking for an adrenalin hit then a visit to Jinja - the adventure capital of East Africa - is a treat not to be missed.
Certainly Uganda is no ordinary safari destination.
