More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The sun comes up hot and low over the Kazinga Channel as hippos blow steam into the air and papyrus reeds shear past your boat. On day one you arrive into Kampala or Entebbe, but by day two the road takes you into older landscapes — the emerald canopy of Kibale, the volcanic ridgelines around Queen Elizabeth, and the dense, moss-slick slopes of Bwindi.
