Best known for its gorillas and chimpanzees, Uganda has abundant wildlife and birds in its picturesque forest and savannah landscapes. Head to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and Mgahinga National Park to see gorillas while Kibale National Park is the most popular place to track chimpanzees. With less visitors than other safari destinations, take into consideration that the infrastructure in Uganda is less developed and lodges not always as comfortable.
