Uganda is home to the highest mountain range in Africa, the Mountains of the Moon in the Rwenzori National Park. It is the source of the River Nile, and around Jinja offers the best white-water rafting in the world. It has the highest concentration of primates on earth, including the magnificent mountain gorilla, one of the rarest animals on the planet. Head to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park for a chance to get close to these great apes.
