Exploring Uganda By Bicycle

The Pearl of Africa

Outsized by its larger neighbors in the region, Uganda still boasts some of the biggest in all of Africa- the tallest mountain range, and the source of the world’s longest river. Set on a continent of unfathomable vastness of scale, “The Pearl” is a surprising microcosm of Africa as a whole. Where your wildlife sightings and safari dreams come true, and where you’ll discover jaw-dropping, unreal landscapes that make you ask, “Why have I never heard about this?”

Mountain Gorillas

European explorers first sent expeditions through today’s Uganda in search of the source of the mythic River Nile. Today’s adventurers trek through the misted and jungled highlands of the Pearl in search of something else- one of humanity’s closest living relatives. Just a glimpse of the majestic Mountain Gorilla makes the trek worth it, and a single captivating moment of eye-contact makes the trip life-changing. Less than 1,000 of the critically endangered Mountain Gorillas remain in the wild, including all in Uganda, where crucial conservation efforts are underway.

UGANDA IS AN UNFORGETTABLE SLICE OF AFRICAN ADVENTURE! I NEVER EXPECTED TO EXPERIENCE SO MUCH DIVERSITY IN LANDSCAPES, CULTURE, AND WILDLIFE IN ONE DESTINATION.
