favorably with anywhere on the African continent. Uganda is
proud to be one of the Africa countries with the largest
concentration of Crocodile and Hippo.
The thrill of churning rapids has been added to the new
adventures of Uganda. One of the longest rivers in the
world, River Nile has enabled tourist activities including
fishing and white water rafting and Bungee Jumping.

Amongst the huge buttressed tress and tangled vegetation, of
lianas and epipytes, you will find the habitats ad homes of
literally thousands of forest species from the shy elephant
shrew to the scaly tailed flying squirrel. Not forgetting
