Overview
About Uganda
Uganda earns its title 'Pearl of Africa' through extraordinary biodiversity: mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, chimpanzees in Kibale, the tree-climbing lions of Ishasha in Queen Elizabeth National Park, and the remote wilderness of Kidepo Valley. Combined with the Nile's source and stunning Rift Valley scenery, Uganda is one of Africa's most rewarding destinations.
Why Visit with Masonda
Uganda offers the rarest of all wildlife encounters — sitting face-to-face with a wild mountain gorilla family. There are fewer than 1,100 mountain gorillas on Earth and Bwindi holds the largest population. Masonda's gorilla trekking permits and logistics are managed personally — nothing is left to chance.
