This exuberant life force is inescapably present everywhere in Uganda. Perched on a breeze-brushed equatorial plateau, the country pulses with nature's joyous self-celebration.
The abundant forests, lakes, rivers, savannah, mountains - even the towns and cities - are bursting with life of every kind. Here there are over 1,000 bird species, the greatest variety of primates in the world, big game, vast river fish, bright torrents of butterflies, an endless spectrum of life's infinite variety.
