    Explore the rich culture and history of Uganda through the exhibits at the National Museum of Uganda.

    Experience the beauty of Uganda's wildlife on a safari at Murchison Falls National Park. Keep an eye out for elephants, lions, giraffes, and hippos as you explore the vast savannah. Don't miss the park's namesake waterfall, where the Nile River plunges through a narrow gorge and creates a powerful display of natural beauty.

    Pay your respects at the Uganda Martyrs Shrine, a memorial to the 22 Catholic and Protestant converts who were martyred for their faith in the late 1800s.
