Why tour Uganda?

Uganda is an amazing holiday destination that is not well known to Western tourists. However, that may soon change after 'Lonely Planet' named Uganda as the number 1 country to visit in 2012. Uganda is blessed with natural beauty, perfect weather, abundant wildlife and friendly people to welcome you. The advantage of the low tourism profile means that you won't be hassled by touts while you enjoy some of Africa's best sights, activities and experiences. Uganda is currently very safe and stable and has maintained a stable government without military conflict for the last 27 years. Uganda has an interesting mix of tribes, languages and customs to observe, yet your travels will be made easier and more interactive by the fact that English is the common language.
