Uganda Safari Holidays

While Uganda is definitely under the safari radar compared to the big boys of Africa (think Tanzania, Kenya, South Africa), it still packs quite the punch when it comes to wildlife and a Uganda safari holiday will not disappoint. Lion, leopard, buffalo and elephant can all be seen on a Uganda safari tour, not to mention the animal the country is perhaps most famed for, the mountain gorilla.
