Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi

Uganda inspires fierce loyalty amongst those lucky enough to have been there, and with good reason.  Uganda safaris offer a greater diversity of wildlife, people and landscapes than any other African destination, placing Uganda safaris amongst the richest experiences Africa has to offer.

With Abercrombie & Kent, gorilla trekking and safaris in Uganda are as inspirational as the country itself.

Uganda is at the crossroads of where the West African jungles meet the East African savannahs and thus home to quickly varying landscapes: semi-deserts in the northeast, lush lowlands fringing the shores of Lake Victoria, and the mountain rainforests of Bwindi national Park and the Rwenzoris (the Mountains of the Moon) in the southwest.

Such diverse topographies create habitats for a kaleidoscope of unique wildlife. Lion, leopard, buffalo and elephant all roam the savannahs, whilst the forests are home to chimpanzees and the mountains are the kingdom of the endangered mountain gorilla (half the world's surviving mountain gorillas live in Uganda).  Gorilla trekking is the jewel in the crown of the Uganda safari experience. 

Whilst the mountain gorillas are Uganda's most talked about asset, its birdlife is often overlooked. A travesty given that Uganda is considered the continent's finest birding country, with some 1,000 recorded species, and amongst them the extremely rare shoe-billed stork.

We are sure you will return from this beautiful country echoing the words of Sir Winston Churchill. "For magnificence, for variety of form and colour, for profusion of brilliant life-plant, bird, insect, reptile, beast," Churchill wrote, Uganda "eclipsed, and indeed effaced, all previous impressions."
