Agencies

Uganda has been voted among the top 10 destinations by National Geographic Traveller, reports msn.com.

The national geographic describes Uganda as “a nation on the rise, a place that has more recently boasted a stable regime and rising prosperity.”

Uganda is also described as a country filled with some of the “most stunning beauty on the globe, from the headwaters of the Nile — which roar over mighty Murchison Falls — to the peaks of the Rwenzori Mountains, some of the highest in Africa.”

Uganda is also home to some of the few remaining, majestic mountain gorillas, which can be visited (by special permit) at the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.  

Queen Elizabeth National Park is home to lions and a wide array of other exotic wildlife. Head there and go on safari at a place like the Mweya Safari Lodge, where you can watch hippos in the Kazinga Channel from the comfort of your room.
