Why does @GovUganda through @MTWAUganda come to platforms like the #UKCTourismSummit2026 ??
Because tourism does not operate in isolation. Our destinations are connected by travellers, markets, businesses, culture and opportunities across East Africa.

Wire snares are often set to catch animals like antelopes, but they can also trap lions, leopards and other wildlife. The injuries can be devastating, sometimes leading to infections, loss of limbs or death
Conservation is about giving every animal a chance to live wild & free

Nothing prepares you for the moment a gorilla looks into your eyes. For one quiet hour, the world disappears and it's just you and a gentle giant in the forest.

He weighs 200kg, shares ~98% of our DNA, and leads his family through Uganda's Bwindi forest. Come spend an hour with a silverback. You'll never forget it. And there's you who thought, they never drink water. In Bwindi's misty rainforest, you can sit metres from a silverback, a gentle giant and an hour that shall create lifetime of memories.
And did you know that half of the world's mountain gorillas live in Uganda? You're welcome #ExploreUganda || #GorillaTrekking || #TheTourismDesk

DID YOU KNOW UGANDA IS HOME TO OVER 2,500 NUBIAN GIRAFFES?
These elegant giants are among the world's most threatened giraffe populations, and Uganda is a vital stronghold for their survival.
Head to Murchison Falls National Park and watch giraffes stride across the savannah, browse acacia trees, and bring the wilderness to life.
And that's just one reason to visit Uganda. Add the mighty Nile, breathtaking waterfalls, mountain gorillas and unforgettable wildlife encounters, and you have a destination worth experiencing—not just seeing.
Don't just hear about the Pearl of Africa. Come and experience it!
Uganda is calling. When are you answering?

UTB’s partnership with CAF ahead of AFCON is a great move to words our goal of achieving the set targets of visitors this financial year
Weldone stake holders and our leader @TourismBoardUg youre leadership continues to bring fire and light in the future of the sector
The question to us the tour operators have we put out packages that are going to make visitors spend money in the pearl ?
Are we ready to turn AFCON excitement into actual tourism business?
Have we developed attractive, market-ready tourism packages that will encourage football fans, supporters and international visitors to extend their stay, explore Uganda and spend money in the Pearl of Africa?
Let's not just welcome AFCON audiences; let's convert them into tourists, experiences and tourism revenue.
The goal is bigger than visitor numbers. It is about longer stays, higher visitor spending, more jobs and greater value for our tourism economy.
Let's market Uganda. Let's sell the Pearl. Let's make every AFCON visitor count
