There are tons of other ways to “monkey around” in this amazing country that don’t involve primates.
Home to elusive mountain gorillas, playful red-tailed monkeys, curious chimpanzees, and endangered golden monkeys, Uganda has become known as the primate capital of East Africa. Although mountain gorillas and Jane Goodall’s chimpanzees may be the first thing many people think of with Uganda, the country is home to countless other adventures. Of course, trekking through the Bwindi National Forest to spend an hour with the mountain gorillas in their protected habitat is high on the must-do list while in Uganda, but once you’ve seen the gorillas, check out these other once-in-a-lifetime experiences you can only have in Uganda.
