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.
