Destination
Uganda also known as the ‘Pearl of Africa’, is characterised by relatively dry and flat savanna in the north, with lush mountains in the West, and vast dense and remarkably green forests in the central region.
A popular spot for wildlife watching is Queen Elizabeth National Park and Uganda is home to a variety of birds and wildlife- Gorillas, chimpanzees, tree climbing lions, monkeys of different kinds, leopards, impalas, the crested crane, a flock of flamboyant flamingos and so many more. The rare and elusive shoebill is one of the birding sights in Uganda. Outdoor fanatics can get their adrenaline fix with plenty of whitewater rafting, kayaking, hiking, quad biking and horse-riding facilities on offer. Add to this some friendly local and the cultures, and it is easy to see why Uganda has gained itself a reputation as ‘Africa’s friendliest country’.

The local currency is the Uganda Shilling (UGX).
The US Dollar, Euro and Pound Sterling are all recognised currencies in Uganda. Both the Euro and Dollar are now widely accepted for cash payments. Other international currencies may also be accepted in some places in the major cities, although visitors may struggle with other currencies in Uganda. Foreign currency can be exchanged at the Central Bank, commercial banks and foreign exchange bureaux.
