Uganda is a nature destination par excellence. The highlight experience is the trek to meet the mountain gorillas in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park. The Murchison Falls National Park is famous for its powerful falls on the Nile and its safaris. The Queen Elizabeth National Park offers varied landscapes and the unique chance to see tree-climbing lions in the Ishasha sector. The Kibale National Park is the best place in Africa for observing chimpanzees. Finally, the city of Jinja is known for being the historical source of the Nile, where you can engage in activities like rafting.
Located on the equator, Uganda enjoys an ideal tropical climate, tempered by altitude. Temperatures are pleasant all year round (between 20 and 28°C). There are two rainy seasons:
The dry seasons (December-February and June-August) are considered the best times for safaris and treks.
Ugandan cuisine is simple and based on local products. The staple dish is Matoke, a steamed green plantain banana mash. The Rolex is the most popular street snack: it’s an omelet rolled in a chapati. You will also find meat or fish stews, often served with a peanut sauce (groundnut stew). Fresh fish, like grilled tilapia caught in Lake Victoria, is also delicious.

Uganda is one of the most ethnically diverse countries in the world, with over 50 recognized tribes. It also has one of the youngest populations on the planet.
The official currency is the Ugandan Shilling (UGX). US dollars (USD) are also widely used, especially for permit payments (gorillas, chimpanzees) and in tourist lodges. It is advisable to have small denominations of both currencies.
The inhabitants of Uganda are called Ugandans and Ugandan women.
The official languages are English and Swahili. English is the language of administration and is widely spoken, facilitating communication. Many local languages (more than 40) are also spoken.
In Uganda, the plugs are type G (British model with 3 rectangular pins). An adapter is therefore essential.
