Volunteer Work in Uganda Once famously described by Winston Churchill as the ‘Pearl of Africa’ this beautiful country is home to an array of striking scenery, varied wildlife and diverse environments and has the best of everything Africa has to offer packed into one small country. Home to the highest mountain range in Africa, the ‘mountains of the Moon’ in the Rwenzori National Park, the country is largely undiscovered and offers visitors the best of both worlds, from tropical forests and mountains of Central Africa to the sun drenched savannahs of East Africa – superb safari destination to get the best of both worlds. It is also the source of the great Nile River and there are amazing opportunities for white water rafting. Having previously been famous for all the wrong reasons, including infamous dictator Idi Yamin, todays reality is a vast contrast of the country that has experienced such disorder. The majority of the country is now stable and peaceful and visitors will experience some of the friendliest and most warm hearted locals in Africa. Volunteering in Uganda | Working Holiday With the highest concentration of primates on earth, including one of the rarest animals on the planet the mountain gorilla, a gorilla trekking safari is a must! There are an abundance of opportunities in this regard, including the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, considered by some to be the most authentic gorilla trekking safari on earth, and a chance to experience raw nature at its best. Uganda is more than just gorilla’s though and there is a myriad of safari options and other activities on offer including: • Chimpanzee trekking - fast becoming a popular alternative to the Gorilla safari’s and a chance to get close to these endangered creatures and man’s closest living relatives • Tombs of Buganda Kings at Kasubi, a world heritage sight – a great way to spend an entire day • Visit Jinja, the world-famous source of the River Nile, and experience white water rafting, body boarding, kayak lessons and even zip wire across this majestic river.
