Uganda

Uganda

Uganda is astonishingly green. Forests, tea plantations, papyrus swamps, volcanic hills - the landscape seems permanently washed in rain.

 

In Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, tracking gorillas means hours of climbing through thick forest before suddenly finding yourself a few feet away from them - enormous, watchful, entirely uninterested in your presence. The Nile begins its long journey here too, gathering force at Murchison Falls before squeezing violently through a narrow cleft in the rock.

Uganda feels raw, fertile, and wonderfully alive.
