Uganda travel information

Although land-locked, the gently rolling plateaux of Uganda are not short of water, with numerous lakes and rivers including Lake Victoria in the south and the White Nile flowing towards the great Murchison Falls and Fula Rapids in the north. Richly varied landscapes include tropical forests and tea plantations on the slopes of the snow-capped Ruwenzori Mountains, arid plains of the Karamoja, lush and heavily populated Buganda and rolling savannah in the south west.

A number of projects throughout the country have been specifically designed to benefit local communities and conserve wildlife while enabling visitors to enjoy the rich ecosystems of different areas. Among such projects are the International Gorilla Conservation Programme in the mountainous Virunga region, and the Chimpanzee Sanctuary and Wildlife Conservation Trust in the Kibale forests.
