ETHOPIA EXPERIENCES

This is along the river being restored, people used to dump all rubbish there but now, wow!

They have cleaned it, created running lanes, walking lanes, biking.

They have made a city anybody would be happy to enjoy.

Cleaned 48 kms of it

[Gessa Simplicious @simplcious]

Even as an ongoing “chimp civil war” continues to shape the social fabric of Ngongo chimpanzee community, Uganda remains one of the most compelling and pristine destinations for chimpanzee trekking in the world.

The country’s natural beauty is undiminished, its forests vibrant, its wildlife thriving, and its commitment to conservation stronger than ever.

Uganda offers a remarkable diversity of chimp trekking experiences across iconic locations such as Kibale National Park; widely regarded as the world’s premier primate capital alongside the expansive Budongo Forest, the striking Kyambura Gorge, and the richly biodiverse Kalinzu Forest Reserve.

Each destination presents a distinct ecological setting, offering travelers rare, immersive encounters with one of humanity’s closest relatives.

While the evolving dynamics among chimpanzees have drawn scientific and conservation interest, they also underscore the importance of protecting these habitats.

Uganda continues to provide a safe, professionally managed, and welcoming environment for visitors seeking authentic wildlife experiences rooted in sustainability and respect for nature.

The Pearl of Africa stands ready, refined, resilient, and open to the world. We are inviting travellers to experience chimpanzee trekking at its finest.

BREAKING NEWS!

RWENZORI MARATHON 2026

Elite runners from around the world have started asking for invitations like they do with other big marathons around the world.

They are sending in their best times something I never expected but being a label is opening doors for Uganda .

Those elite athletes sending in their times are brands in their own rights and they come with big brands like Nike, adidas etc

That’s massive PR for a country, kasese and @RwenzoriMarathn, also means so much for us to learn and execute for a world athletics label road race.

Those elite athletes numbers will skyrocket when we announce the money awards in May God willing.
