The perfect luxury Uganda honeymoon
Gorillas, game and stunning scenery make Uganda a great destination for an Africa honeymoon
Uganda offers some of Africa’s most incredible honeymoon memories, and if you're looking for somewhere unique and a bit different to the rest of the continent, it's a great choice.
For the ultimate adventure, go gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, and see a wild Silverback watching over his family as the youngsters get up to mischief high up on the rainforest-clad slopes. If a traditional safari is more your thing, head over to the savannahs of Queen Elizabeth National Park or Murchison Falls for game drives, river cruises and the chance to watch chimps as they navigate through Tarzan territory. For hiking, the stunning Rwenzori Mountains with their lunar landscapes are one of our favourite wilderness regions in Uganda.
To tick some culture off your list, we suggest visiting the Ssese Islands in Lake Victoria, or step back in time with a trip to the eerie ruins of Idi Amin's safari palace in Kidepo Forest. Jinja is the capital of adventure sports, and it's here you can take to the waters of the mighty Nile for a spot of world-class river rafting. Or for something a little more relaxing, make your way to Lake Bunyonyi for boat trips and swimming in the crocodile-free waters.
A tailor made Uganda honeymoon combines really well with Kenya and Tanzania if you want a few days relaxing on the beach at the end of your trip.
