Once called “The Pearl of Africa” by Winston Churchill, Uganda is a meeting point of old country beauty and progressive tourism amenities. Perhaps the truest reason for Uganda’s widespread appeal is its’ natural adventure, as a dense wildlife population roams the land with authority and invitation. Visitors and locals alike co-exist happily alongside the monkeys and antelopes that first called the country home. If the resident animals are Uganda’s best attraction, the land they travel is a close second. With greenery, waterfalls, and deep jungle forests, the nation is a playground for adventure and photography. Its’ ability to maintain a rural, ‘off the beaten path’ setting with safe, amenable conveniences have proven Churchill’s words true even decades after they were spoken. Any Uganda tour guide knows the locals are as happy to see visitors, as visitors are to see them. A welcoming and hospitable destination, Ugandans’ authentic curiosity transforms an average vacation into an unforgettable journey.
