UGANDA
SAFARIS
Ecologically,
Uganda is where the East African savannah meets the West African
jungle. Where else but in this impossibly lush country can one observe
lions prowling the open plains in the morning and track chimpanzees
through the rainforest undergrowth the same afternoon, then the
next day navigate tropical channels teeming with hippo and crocs
before setting off into the misty mountains to stare deep into the
eyes of a mountain gorilla? Certainly, Uganda is the only safari
destination whose range of forest primates is as impressive as its
selection of plains antelope. And this verdant biodiversity is further
attested to by Uganda?s status as by far the smallest of the four
African countries whose bird checklist tops the 1,000 mark!
