You step off the plane into humid air, jacaranda-lined roads and the distant rumble of a great river — Uganda announces itself plainly. Over two weeks you move from the Nile’s thunder at Murchison Falls to the misty slopes of Bwindi, across cratered highlands to the mirror stillness of Lake Bunyonyi. Early mornings mean game drives with light cleaving through acacia; afternoons bring boat cruises where hippos punctuate the water like living rocks.
