Uganda

Winston Churchill called Uganda the “pearl of Africa” for good reason. It’s an extraordinarily beautiful and diverse country, green and tropical, with savannahs, forests, lakes, branches of the Nile and snow-covered peaks. It has wildlife and plants characteristic of both East and West Africa, meaning that you can see more in a short visit than you could just about anywhere else.

We’ve arranged a program of extraordinary scope, taking in one highlight after another. Unquestionably, one of them will be tracking gorillas in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest — seeing gorillas in the wild has to rank among the greatest thrills in natural history. We’ll look for chimpanzees in the Kibale Forest, see world-famous Murchison Falls, the Mountains of the Moon and the wildlife of Queen Elizabeth National Park.

Wildlife has recovered exceptionally well from the depredations of past years, and we’ll see vast numbers of animals, including elephants, lions, hippos, crocodiles, Uganda kob, impala and zebra, along with some of the most interesting primates in the world.

As always with IE, you travel with exceptional guides, who help you understand the meaning of what you see. They make all the difference in the world.

We hope you’ll join us.
