These are two countries that are still unspoiled by tourism and where you explore the forested areas for Chimpanzee and Mountain Gorilla. Uganda, "The Pearl of Africa", is situated astride the Equator and boasts a wide and diverse landscape - from rugged, snow-capped mountains to the vast flat lands.
