Western Uganda Tourist Attractions Guide
A country unspoilt by commercialised tourism, Uganda is gaining in popularity not least because of a host of awards by organisations such as National Geographic and Lonely Planet recognising it as one of the top travel destinations in the world making tourism growth in Uganda the fastest in Africa. Western Uganda is perhaps the "pearl" of the "Pearl of Africa" with its national parks, clear lakes, thickly forested islands, misted mountains and the opportunity to go mountain gorilla trekking as well as seeing chimpanzees, birds, and other wildlife close up as well as simply enjoying traditional warm, Ugandan hospitality. Most people enter Uganda via Entebbe airport and a hotel room in that town can cost as little as £10 a night, including breakfast. Then it's a simple matter of heading south and basing yourself in Mbarara or homestay accommodation in such central villages as Ruhanga where a traditional welcome awaits. Check out this site and pay a visit to the peaceful world of western Uganda with its rolling hills, mountains and fantastic hospitality! |

When people think of Africa as a tourist destination, Uganda is probably not on top of their list with many not realising that the days of Idi Amin are long gone with the country enjoying long term stability for the last three decades. The Western Region borders with the Democratic Republic of Congo in the west and the Northern tip of Rwanda as well as Tanzania in the South.
