Uganda - Re-emerging as the "Pearl of Africa"
Often called the most beautiful country in Africa, Uganda was a longtime favorite safari destination until falling into political turmoil in the 1970's. Today this little-traveled gem is re-emerging as one of Africa's prime safari destinations, where travelers can game-view on walks, drives and motor launch cruises amid uncrowded, bright green savannahs, verdant channels, and luxuriant rainforests inhabited by Uganda kob, topi, leopards, elephants, hippos, waterbucks and exceptional varieties of birds and primates, including half of the world's last remaining mountain gorillas.
