From the time you land at Entebbe international airport, with its equatorial location on the forested shores of island strewn Lake Victoria, it is very clear that Uganda is no ordinary safari destination. Dominated by an expansive golf course leading down to the lake shore and a century-old botanical alive with the chatter of acrobatic monkeys and tropical birds, Entebbe its self is the least obviously urban of all comparably sized African Towns. Then, just 40 km distant sprawled across seven hills, there is the capital Kampala. The bright modern feel of this bustling cosmopolitan city reflects the on going economic growth and political stability that has characterized Uganda since 1986 and is complemented by the sloping spaciousness and runaway greenery of its garden setting.

Where else but in this impossibly lush country can one observe lions prowling the open plains in thee morning and track chimpanzees through the rain forest undergrowth the same afternoon, then the next day navigate tropical channels teeming with hippo and crocodiles before setting off into the misty mountains to stare deep into eyes of the Mountain Gorillas!
