Beautiful and friendly, but lacking a bit of wildlife.
Pros:
Amazing primate wildlife: gorillas, chimpanzees and many other smaller primates (monkeys) can be easily watched.
Very good birding.
Beautiful forested hills and mountains to the West of the country.
Beautiful geographical features, like Lake Victoria, Murchison Falls, the Nile, Ruwenzori and Virunga mountains. All within reach.
Friendly people everywhere. Drivers, guides, rangers, hotel staff, all are very nice and devoted to their work.
Professional guides and drivers know their trade well.
Very good food everywhere we went.
Good lodges, although some were a bit below par for a mid-range aspiration.
Cons:
Other than primates, wildlife is unevenly present in the parks. Some lack this, some lack that, etc.
Overall, wildlife does not appear in vast numbers as it does in other countries in the region, despite

censuses and claims to the contrary (they are sure true, but it just does not show on the field).Dreadful dirt roads in the forested areas, really bad even for trained drivers with adequate 4x4 cars. Well below the standard in neighbouring countries.
Driving times can be very long on account of the state of the roads (even those on tar).

Marvelous trip
We spent 8 days in Uganda doing a safari with Dav Safaris, it was fantastic! Saw so many animals gorillas, elephants, lions, hippos and crocodiles. The lodges were very nice and the organization perfect. The land is beautiful and the people very warm and welcoming!
