The pearl of Africa

Where life sprouts in every corner

When you think of Uganda, imagine a deep journey in the heart of Africa, where nature overflows in every corner.

It is a landlocked country, where the heart of Africa beats with the roar of mountain gorillas in the dense, dark forests, where chimpanzees play among the tree branches and the big five, lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants and buffaloes, roam its vast savannahs.

Uganda invites you to walk in the heart of the wildest nature, to discover the ancestral cultures of its people and to marvel at landscapes that combine imposing mountains, calm lakes like Victoria and waterfalls that break into a deafening roar. 

Here, where history and nature intertwine, Winston Churchill was right to call it “The Pearl of Africa”. A destination that you cannot miss, where every day is a discovery, a lesson in resilience and a testimony to the force of nature.

where the jungle breathes and the gorillas speak

 

In the deepest part of Uganda, where the jungle becomes an indomitable wall of life, hides the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, an ancestral sanctuary where the last mountain gorillas find refuge.

Here, in the thicket of infinite green, the air is filled with the echo of their movements, soft but powerful, as you advance between giant ferns and trees that touch the sky.

Only a select few a day can enter this hidden realm. There are no paths or signs, just the heartbeat of the jungle and the crunching of the leaves under your feet, while the guides, guardians of this territory, lead you in silence.

 

And then it happens: the meeting. The deep gaze of a gorilla, as old as the world itself, pierces you and stops time. You are not a spectator, you are part of something sacred and primitive. A moment where life is revealed in its purest and most authentic form, leaving a mark that will never disappear.

Tips for traveling to Uganda

Security: • Uganda is a safe country, but avoid walking alone at night in big cities like Kampala or Entebbe. • Keep your valuables safe and don't wear flashy jewelry.

Visa and passport: • Make sure your passport is valid for at least six months. • Apply for your e-visa on the official Uganda immigration website before your trip to save time (cost: 50 USD).

Vaccines and health: • Mandatory: Vaccination against yellow fever (it is necessary to travel with the certificate). • Recommended: Hepatitis A and B, typhoid fever, tetanus-diphtheria, polio and malaria (take prophylactic measures). • Wear long-sleeved clothing to protect yourself from mosquitoes.

Trekking reservations: • Gorillas: Reserve permits at least 3-6 months in advance. • Chimpanzees: Book a couple of months in advance at popular places like Kibale Forest National Park.

Enjoy the rich biodiversity and unforgettable experiences that Uganda has to offer!

Climate and best time: • Travel during the dry seasons: June to August or December to February. • In April, May and November, gorilla viewing permits have 25% discounts.

Transport: • Use a 4x4 if you rent a car, preferably with a driver. • Avoid boda-bodas (motorcycle taxis) and matatus (vans) due to their reckless driving.

Money: • The local currency is the Ugandan shilling. • Use ATMs in major cities and carry cash for rural areas.

Languages: • English is official and widely spoken, but learning a few Swahili phrases (like “Asante” for “thank you”) can be helpful and people will appreciate it.

Internet and connectivity: • MTN and Airtel are the best options for coverage. • Please note that connectivity may be limited in remote areas, even in some hotels.

Travel insurance: • It is essential to have insurance that covers medical evacuations in case of emergencies.
