A lovely surprise
I didn’t have any preconceptions about Uganda - I hadn’t visited sub-Saharan Africa before. I had a vague idea of savannah landscapes, dry and dusty at the end of the dry season, and chaotic cities. While Kampala is indeed chaotic, it’s also fascinating. The countryside I saw was to the west - savannah, yes, but also vast lush, forested areas. Tea planatations, rainforest, rolling hills and mountains. The people were great - always kind and patient, no hassle anywhere. I think this year has see lower numbers of tourists due to the ebola outbreak, so perhaps it was an even better time to visit. I went to Queen Elizabeth NP, Kyaninga and Murchison. All wonderful, I’d go back again and I would recommend anyone to visit.

Unbelievable Uganda - Just book it!
I’ve been on many safaris in Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa etc however Uganda was by far my favourite. With the exception of rhino’s it has all the other big five with the added bonus of wild mountain gorillas and also chimps. I am a female solo traveller and I found Uganda to be very safe and welcoming. It’s also much better value than other countries. I found Uganda to be very quiet compared to other countries and never saw more than 6 safari jeeps together in a national park. I was very impressed with how ethical everything was, with the animals put first i.e. to see the gorillas you must wear a face mask and you’re limited to an hour with them. I cannot recommend Uganda enough, simply stunning.

Extraordinary country and authentic people, but still facing many major challenges
From the safaris, where we had the opportunity to see incredible wildlife up close, to the beautiful forests and villages, every day brought a new adventure. The beauty of the landscapes and the incredible variety of environments make Uganda a destination that leaves a lasting impression. What struck me most was the authenticity of the experience. Away from mass tourism, I felt that I was truly getting to know the country and its culture.
At the same time, Uganda is a very poor country, and it is clear that many communities would benefit from greater support and investment from their government, particularly in areas such as infrastructure, education, healthcare, and basic services. Despite the economic difficulties and challenging living conditions, what touched me deeply was seeing

how warm, welcoming, and genuinely smiling the people are.It was an intense and emotional journey, full of unforgettable moments that I will carry with me for a long time. I highly recommend Uganda to anyone looking for something different, authentic, and deeply meaningful.
