There is much in Uganda, on the equator, yet a temperate climate due to the elevation of the country.  There are the mountains of the moon, the Rwenzoris with its year around snow and glaciers, one right on the equator, attracting mountaineers from around the world, and who could even forget the mountain gorillas, the lions, the elephants, hyenas, warthogs, hippos, crocodiles, giraffes, zebras, over one thousand species of birds.  Yes Uganda has so much, and best of all, it does not have the big crowds of tourists roaming through it.

When one thinks of Uganda, some infamous president comes to mind, but for those who have visited Uganda, there are the savannas, the rain forests and jungles, the mountains, the rivers, the many lakes, but mostly the people of Uganda.

Uganda is off the beaten tourist path, 600,000 tourist come to Uganda every year, about 200,000 are tourists coming on safaris. A blessing for you, Uganda has all the animals of other safari countries, but has the advantage of being less crowded and has the most Mountain Gorillas in Africa.
