:: Where we go - Uganda & Rwanda
Landlocked in central Africa, Uganda sits astride the
equator with tiny Rwanda bordering it to the south. They are
two of the continent's most lush countries with extraordinary
biodiversity, beautiful lakes, waterfalls, mighty rivers,
and rolling hills. The shared border runs through the Virunga
Mountains, home on both sides to some of the world’s
few remaining mountain gorillas, providing a profoundly moving
game viewing experience. Amidst incredible scenery elsewhere
in Uganda, more traditional game viewing is abundant. Despite
their histories, both countries are now peaceful and the people
warm, friendly and very welcoming.
