Uganda, in the heart of East Africa, is full of the wonders
of nature. With landscapes that range from snow capped peaks through
broad savannah, rainforests to arid semi-desert, as well as wetlands
of international importance, Uganda is one of the best countries
to experience the African safari. Located on the western side of the Great Rift
Valley, Uganda benefits from Flora and Fauna species of both 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 neighboring Democratic Republic of
Congo, formerly Zaire. On the 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 other than this part of Africa. We outline below African Safaris that are on offer in Uganda, the Pearl of Africa.
