Uganda
Uganda is where the heart of Africa beats green and alive. Mist rises over forested hills as gorillas stir in the shadows of Bwindi, and hippos wallow in the calm waters of the Nile. From the snow-capped Rwenzori Mountains to golden savannahs rich with wildlife, every corner holds a new rhythm of wonder. Uganda is a place of rare connection — to nature, to silence, and to something far greater than yourself.
