Profile.... Uganda has a rich tourism history, indeed it was one of the very first popular destinations on the entire continent of Africa. In 1907 it was visited by no less than Winston Churchill. His discriminating and perceptive analysis of what Uganda has to offer was recorded in “My African Journey”, where he wrote ”Uganda is truly the pearl of Africa”.
Uganda has lost none of its beauty, its magic, or its people's well-earned reputation for hospitality, modesty and friendliness. With the trials of independence and civil war now long past, Uganda has once again opened its doors to tourists.
Spoken through the years as 'The Pearl of Africa', Uganda offers very special opportunities for the experienced East African traveller.
The National Parks are more remote and less crowded. The number of animals do not compare with Kenya and Tanzania but are still plentiful and it is possible to see the primates in their natural homes, surrounded by stunning scenery.
