Uganda is Africa’s and the world’s tourism hotspot destination with incredible species that are unique to the world. This beautiful pearl is nestled in the tropics in the East African region. It lies in the tropical escarpments of the Great Rift Valley crossed by the equator. Uganda is the best tourism destination in the world as it offers spectacular safari experiences that only if told would seem not to be true. The beautiful landscape of Uganda gives birth to incredible green forest canopies that shade the many wildlife and bird species. This peaceful land has beautiful vegetation zones that are drained and given life by the many water bodies that willingly flow across them.
The savannah plains of grasslands and scattered trees dominate the country’s vast wilderness where the mighty apex predators reign this savage kingdom with thundering roars that pierce the horizon to announce their rule. The tropical rainforest vegetation zone is a jungle book story with the main characters being the chimpanzee primates that swing from tree to tree across the forests as the areal masters. However, the chimpanzees know to stay clear of their gigantic cousins the mountain gorillas. These massive primates are the masters and rules of the highland jungles and are rivals to none. Off land to the navy, the aquatic life of Uganda is dominated by the hippos and crocodiles who are the slayers but rather live in harmony to stay out of each other’s ways. The vast birdlife species are the sky masters and their colorful feathers light the horizon and the atmosphere is calmed by their sweet music.
