This is one of the best places in the world to find troupes of majestic mountain gorillas. In the dense, misty forests of the Virunga Mountains, you can witness these incredible creatures in their natural habitat, an experience few other locations can offer.

Today, Uganda is a top destination for travelers. Most visitors come to see its famous residents—the endangered mountain gorillas.
