Welcome to Uganda — Where Sports Meet the Wild
Uganda isn’t just a land of breathtaking scenery, vibrant culture, and warm hospitality — it’s also a country where sports and nature unite in unforgettable ways. As the home of the Uganda Baseball & Softball Association, our fields welcome international teams, passionate athletes, and sports lovers from all over the globe.
But when the last ball is pitched and the final run is scored, Uganda invites you to step off the diamond and into another world — the misty mountains where endangered mountain gorillas roam free.
This page is your all-in-one guide to making the most of your trip: from attending thrilling baseball and softball events to joining gorilla trekking tours, exploring national parks, and immersing yourself in Uganda’s rich cultural heritage.
Why Uganda is the Perfect Sports + Tourism Destination
Uganda offers something rare: the chance to combine world-class sports experiences with bucket-list wildlife encounters.
Here’s why our international guests love it:
Location: Easy access via Entebbe International Airport, just 40km from the capital Kampala.
Climate: Warm year-round, perfect for both outdoor sports and safaris.
Hospitality: Ugandans are known for their friendliness and hospitality toward visitors.
Wildlife Diversity: From lions to gorillas, Uganda’s biodiversity is unmatched in East Africa.
Value for Money: Uganda is one of the cheapest places to trek gorillas in Africa, making it ideal for combining sports and adventure on a budget.
Meet Uganda’s Mountain Gorillas
Uganda is home to almost half of the world’s remaining mountain gorillas, primarily found in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park.
Trekking to see them is more than just a tour — it’s a life-changing encounter. You’ll hike through lush forests, guided by expert trackers, until you find a family of gorillas in their natural habitat. Watching them eat, play, and interact — just meters away — is an experience that will stay with you forever.
For many of our visitors, combining a baseball tournament with a gorilla trek is the highlight of their trip.
