The fact that Uganda is the "PEARL OF AFRICA" as articulated by former British Prime Winston Churchill, he saw a very large diversity Uganda has, hence the Pearl of Africa. Uganda's 10 National Parks including; Murchison Falls, Kibale Forest, Queen Elizabeth, Lake Mburo, Kidepo Valley, Semuliki Forest, Bwindi Impenetrable, Mount Elgon Mgahinga Gorillas and Mount Rwenzori snow caped National Parks, 11 Wildlife Reserves including Pian Upe with lots of wildlife are enough to make Uganda a great destination.

Uganda has five major Lakes including Africa's biggest Lake Victoria, Lake George, Lake Edward, Lake Kyoga and Lake Albert. You need to also know that Uganda is the Source of River Nile, "World's longest River".

Uganda is one of the World's leading home for Birds as is a home to the ENDEMIC and Migratory birds that will be found here. Most of these won't be found anywhere in the World since they only live in the ALBERTINE RIFT VALLEY.

All these National Parks and reserves dwells the "BIG FIVE" Lions, Elephants, Leopards, Rhinos and Buffalo Soldiers. With these besides, Uganda is a home to Giraffes among others, lots of Antelopes too. It is in Uganda where you will find Mountain Gorillas and Chimpanzees in one forest that's Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. We here encourage Photographers and Bird Watchers to choose a 22 to 32 Days Safari which will reward you with all of your whole time admired and bucket list animals in their natural habitats.

Finally, it is only in Uganda where you will have a complete safari in the whole of Africa. How? You may ask yourself! In Uganda, when you come for a great safari and don't do Mountain Gorillas, that safari is incomplete. That's why those who go to Kenya and Tanzania or Botswana, Zambia, Namibia, South Africa their trips/safaris are incomplete because there's no Gorillas tracking much as they will have seen the BIG FIVE. But in Uganda, you will see them all, hence having a 'COMPLETE SAFARI of your lifetime. I happily invite you all to come visit Uganda and consider it as your next destination from now and on. Thank you!

Product and Personality

I just returned from a week safari in Uganda including gorilla trek in Bwindi all booked with Gorillas Homeland Safaris. As a traveller, mist people look for two things... Product and Personality. Gorillas Homeland Safaris excelled on both counts. The scenery was stunning, the animals were fascinating, and the people of Uganda were wonderful.

My personal guides/drive surpassed expectations. From the warm wonderful smiles greeting me at the airport, through our informative game drives, Davis and Meddy made sure I had a great time. I loved the excitement of seeing the tree climbing lions in the branches right over our vehicle; of seeing all the hippos in the river channel and water holes; of the elephants crossing ahead and behind our vehicle. The trek to see the gorillas was challenging for me as this trip was scheduled right between two cancer surgeries but I had the best guide and porter in Bwindi and was rescued by a motorcycle drive part way down.

Thank you, my knight!

Being in the presence of the gorilla family was both exciting and peaceful. You could see the different personalities in each of them. Enchanting!

I left my heart in Uganda.

My second trip with Davis and Gorillas Homeland Safaris proved to be as spectacular as the first.
Walking with rhinos in the sanctuary Murchison Falls spectacular water falls, “out of Africa “ boat trip up the Nile and outstanding games drives Kibale for the forest walk and chimps Lake Mburo for savannah animals and finally Jinja with source of the Nile and horseback riding along its banks!

All game drives delivered great animal viewing with few other vehicles. Big lion pride, many many elephants and a leopard with fresh kill. The accommodation was terrific in all locations . I had elephants by the pool, monkeys in the forest camp and spectacular views for miles!

Davis worked hard to provide all the details for a superb trip.
