Uganda could be considered a rather unknown destination for most travellers seeking beautiful places to experience in Africa, given its small size and landlocked position. Although there is no surrounding ocean, 25% of Uganda comprises lakes and rivers, and it certainly packs in many more wonderful places of interest that make those who visit Uganda yearn to come back for more.

Of the top Uganda destinations, the mountainous, forested Bwindi National Park is right up there as one of the best places to visit in Uganda for gorilla treks. But the Uganda tourist attractions don’t stop there, as the country is also home to large savannah reserves, lowland rainforests and enchanting lakes which – in combination – make for one of the biggest wildlife experiences in Africa.
