Everyone knows that gorilla trekking is the most popular Uganda main attractions but there is plenty more to Uganda.
The Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park is home to family groups of the vanishingly rare mountain gorilla. Take a guided trek into the cathedral-like forest and spend time observing these creatures at rest and play. It's one of nature's biggest experiences and top of the Uganda main attractions list.
They're our closest living relative - explore the Kibale Forest or Murchison Falls National Park and with a bit of luck you'll see chimpanzees foraging, hunting and socialising. Chimp trekking is fast becoming one of our top Uganda main attractions - do it before the crowds get to hear of it.
Uganda main attractions aren't all about primates: both Queen Elizabeth and Murchison Falls national parks offer big game viewing. Lion, elephant, buffalo and a host of familiar favourites like giraffe, hyena and hippo make these parks home - and you'll be doing great boat trips on wildlife-packed rivers as well.
