乌干达: The Great Plains, Sanctuaries & Living Wilderness
乌干达是位于赤道上的绿色内陆国，濒临非洲最大的湖泊维多利亚湖。尼罗河在金贾流出湖泊，一路向北，西部边境的鲁文佐里山脉海拔达5109米。首都是坎帕拉，国际机场位于湖畔的恩德培。
大多数游客是为布恩迪密林国家公园而来：这里生活着山地大猩猩，每天发放的徒步许可证数量有限。伊丽莎白女王国家公园有卡津加水道，伊沙沙地区还能看到爬树的狮子。在默奇森瀑布，尼罗河穿过一道狭窄的峡谷；基巴莱则是追踪黑猩猩的地方。
乌干达的看点不在于庞大的兽群，而在于灵长类动物和鸟类。这里有记录的鸟类超过1000种，一次旅行就能同时看到大猩猩、黑猩猩，并在草原上游猎。
乌干达不临海，因此桑给巴尔是旅程结尾海滩的自然选择。从恩德培出发当天即可到达桑给巴尔，大猩猩加一周海滩的行程很容易安排在一次旅行中。
Living Wildlife Corridors & Indigenous Sanctuaries
乌干达 represents one of the world's most vital biodiversity strongholds. Through comprehensive conservation protocols and community partnerships, vast ecosystems remain contiguous, enabling the ancient rhythms of predator and prey to unfold without barrier.
From the dramatic fault lines of the Great Rift Valley to ancient baobab savannas and pristine coral coastlines, the territory transitions seamlessly between wilderness realms. Guided game drives, private walking trails with indigenous trackers, and low-impact eco-lodges ensure an intimate safari experience.
"Every gorilla trekking permit directly protects the habitat of the endangered mountain gorillas and funds healthcare and education for adjacent forest communities."
