Uganda

Uganda, known as the “Pearl of Africa,” is a landlocked country in East Africa boasting diverse wildlife, stunning landscapes, and friendly locals. As a tourist, you can embark on a safari adventure in one of Uganda’s national parks, such as Queen Elizabeth or Murchison Falls, to witness lions, elephants, and giraffes in their natural habitat. You can also hike to the top of the Rwenzori Mountains, the highest mountain range in Africa, and marvel at the breathtaking views.

For a cultural experience, visit the Batwa people, a community of forest-dwelling hunter-gatherers, and learn about their traditional way of life. And don’t forget to try Ugandan cuisines, such as matoke (cooked bananas) and Rolex (a rolled chapati filled with eggs and vegetables).
