Uganda has magnificent scenery, including snowcapped mountain, thick tropical forests and semidesert areas. Lakes cover more than a sixth of Uganda. The capital is Kampala which is well worth a visit. Other interesting places to visit are Sese Islands, Kasese, Entebbe and Kabale. Highly recommmended is also the Bwindi National Park. Most of the areas of interest to travelers are in the south-west part of the country, a side branch of the famous and volcanically active Great Rift Valley, with the exception of Jinja and Murchison Falls. Gorilla tracking draws most foreign tourists, and there are several troops of gorillas that can be visited in at least three different locations. Book gorilla tracking permits well in advance (6 months or more) to avoid disappointment. With the exception of some few parts of Northern Uganda still plagued by the Lord's Resistance Army rebellion, the country is generally peaceful and enjoys full security. Uganda has a fairly conservative Christian / Muslim based society. It is not considered acceptable for women to wear skimpy clothing or to have overt displays of sexuality. Most Ugandans go to church / mosque regularly and consider religion an important part of a moral society.	DESTINATIONS COMING SOON
