Covering an area of some 55,277 km², Western Uganda contains twenty six districts and is one of the four regions of Uganda. At the Western Uganda Network we aim to provide an ever increasing portfolio of information about Western Uganda, so use us as a guide to discover the best
things to do, top tourist attractions, where to stay and eat and
find hidden attractions in this unspoilt corner of Africa!
From the stunning Rwenzori Mountains to National Parks with their abundant wildlife, Western Uganda has so many unspoilt tourist attractions for the visitor including gorilla trekking, museums, lakes and waterfalls. 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. 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, forests, lakes and the
opportunity to go gorilla trekking and witness an
abundance of other wildlife live and close-up. Its also
an ideal base for visits to neighbouring Rwanda and
Tanzania. 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 its
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.
