Uganda Wins Prestigious Best In Show- Africa Award 2026

Uganda has been honored with the coveted “Best In Show – Africa” award at a prestigious ceremony in the United States, cementing its position as the continent’s premier tourism destination and showcasing the Pearl of Africa’s unparalleled natural beauty, wildlife, and cultural heritage.The award, presented at an international tourism showcase attended by industry leaders, travel experts, and diplomatic representatives, recognizes Uganda’s exceptional contributions to African tourism and its commitment to sustainable travel experiences. The nation competed against numerous African countries to claim the top honor.

“This recognition is a testament to Uganda’s extraordinary biodiversity, warm hospitality, and the tireless efforts of our tourism sector,” said a spokesperson from the Uganda Tourism Board. “From the mist-covered mountains home to endangered mountain gorillas to the source of the Nile River, Uganda offers experiences that captivate travelers from around the world.”

Uganda’s tourism portfolio includes some of Africa’s most sought-after experiences: gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, wildlife safaris in Queen Elizabeth National Park, chimpanzee tracking in Kibale Forest, adventure activities in Jinja, and cultural encounters with diverse ethnic communities. The country’s compact size allows visitors to experience multiple ecosystems within a single trip, from savannah plains to tropical rainforests.

The award comes at a time of significant growth for Uganda’s tourism industry, with increasing numbers of international visitors discovering the country’s unique attractions. Recent investments in infrastructure, accommodation facilities, and conservation efforts have enhanced the visitor experience while preserving the natural environment.

Tourism experts attribute Uganda’s success to its unique combination of attractions, including over half of the world’s remaining mountain gorillas, exceptional bird watching opportunities with more than 1,000 species, and some of East Africa’s most spectacular landscapes. The country’s reputation for safety, political stability, and genuine hospitality has also contributed to its rising profile.
