The western travel region features the outstanding Rwenzori Mountains, the royal city of Fort Portal, and the primate capital Kibale Forest National Park. The region has the most outstanding landscapes with stunning rolling hills, ever-green tea plantations, and spanning farmlands.
A typical Africa safari in Uganda heads west from Kampala (or from Entebbe International Airport near Kampala) to the scenic Fort Portal area.
Near Fort Portal town is the main attraction of chimpanzee trekking in the forested Kibale National Park—followed by a 2-3 night visit to Queen Elizabeth National Park (QENP) at the foot of the Rwenzori Mountains.
