Western Uganda Tourism Attractions

Tourism in 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. Known as the "Pearl of Africa", today Uganda is a peaceful country especially in the south where you will be staying far removed from the tempestuous days of Idi Amin and the malignant Lord's Resistance Army driven from the country many years ago.

Unspoilt by commercialisation you can undertake the best safaris in Africa sitting on top of jeeps, trek through forests in search of mountain gorillas, camp next to chimps and hippos and stop off at museums exploring local heritage and culture as well as visiting craft shops, restaurants and lakes.
