Uganda the Pearl of Africa
There are certain magical names in Africa, names which conjure up images of mystery, of exotic fauna and flora and even of a certain danger.

The best Whitewater rafting on the Nile River adventure ever started from the Nile River Explorers backpackers in Jinja.

Called "The Pearl of Africa" by Winston Churchill and in more recent memory the scene of great civil war under the mad dictator Idi Amin, it throws up many images.
Most people go to Uganda today to see the famed mountain gorillas (Gorilla beringei beringei).
