Welcome to Uganda Destination Uganda is located on the equator, neighboring Tanzania, Kenya, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Although smaller than the United Kingdom, it features diverse landscapes, including snow-capped mountains, savannahs, lush swamplands, and dense forests. The country is home to iconic wildlife such as lions, elephants, buffalo, primates, and over a thousand bird species. Uganda is also known for conserving critically endangered mountain gorillas and chimpanzees, funded partly through trekking fees from visitors. Upon arriving at Entebbe airport in Kampala, guests can enjoy a comprehensive safari or a short excursion for gorilla trekking.
