“There is considerable change brewing in Uganda’s travel offerings at the moment with the country christened the pearl of Africa now looking beyond the traditional staples of safari and wildlife spotting to appeal to both regional and international visitors,” said CNN Travel.

CNN still says from the extensive shores of Lake Victoria to the snowy Rwenzori Mountains, Uganda is a beautiful wilderness recreation ground, with different opportunities for adventure including treks through the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest or up to the craters of the Virunga volcano chain or whitewater rafting along the Nile from lake Victoria.

According to CNN, Uganda has also shown itself as the best place for hosting meetings, events, and conferences both locally and internationally. 

As if that is not enough, there’s also an importance of connecting visitors with Ugandan communities promising tastes of Ugandan local food, music, and culture.

Last year the Uganda Cycling Trail, a 1,600-kilometer mainly unpaved 22-stage route was launched targeting all levels of cyclists from hardcore solo bike packers to fully-guided easy riders.
