Top three things to do in Rwanda and Uganda – exploring the local culture, national parks and gorilla watching. From the strictly managed safaris for gorillas in Volcanoes National Park to seeing the chimps and the primates in the Nyungwe, Rwanda offers the most diverse wildlife. The local communities are vibrant and welcoming so immerse yourself in Kigali’s musical hotspots and enjoy the local songs.

Uganda is aptly called the Pearl of Africa because of its abundant biodiversity and natural beauty. It is also a real treat when it comes to African travel with ten national parks protecting over half of the world’s mountain gorillas, along with chimpanzees, rare golden monkeys besides the basic safari checklist. No wonder then that Gorilla tracking is one of the top experiences here.
