Mostly not considered as much by tourists who instead go on safari into the neighboring countries like Kenya and Tanzania, Uganda has been described as the ‘Pearl of Africa’ such is its natural beauty and charm. The landlocked country is home to a diverse array of ecosystems, wildlife and bird species, vegetation, rain forests, and even rivers and lakes that are fascinating to explore and, untouched and wild, they are stunning to behold.
