You step off the safari van as dawn pulls a cool blue over the savanna and the Nile snarls in the distance — Uganda announces itself with sound as much as sight. Over seven days you move from riverine cliffs of Murchison Falls to the brooding Rwenzori foothills, through chimp-filled rainforest and, if chosen, into the misty slopes where gorillas feed.
