Uganda, "The pearl of Africa," as Winston Churchill wrote of this former British protectorate, embraces Lake Victoria (the source of the Nile), savanna plateau and the Ruwenzori Mountains, home to the endangered mountain gorilla. The country has been politically stable for over ten years and gorilla trekking at Bwindi is again very popular and should be booked well in advance. A level of fitness is required since searching for the apes can involve rather strenuous hiking and climbing at high altitudes. Bwindi is the quintessential equatorial forest with its enormous trees, ferns, tangled undergrowth and vines. In addition to the magnificent gorillas, other primates such as chimpanzees and a variety of smaller monkeys can also be seen. The bird life is prolific. A great bonus to the Ugandan national parks is that they are not as crowded as the ones in Kenya and Tanzania.
