Uganda

Uganda

Mountain gorillas in misty highlands contrast with savanna wildlife and vast lake shores.

Uganda shifts between dense mountain forests where gorillas move through bamboo groves and open savanna where elephants gather at water holes. Lake shores stretch toward horizons while volcanic peaks rise from fertile highlands, creating landscapes that change dramatically within short distances.

  • mountain forests in the west transitioning to savanna plains and wetland systems
