Indulge in Alberta’s beautiful southern landscape at Waterton Park. Visit the popular Driftwood Beach nestled in the mountains or drive to any of the pristine lakes that offer rentals for water sports.
Cool your feet in the clear waters of Red Rock canyon as you hike the water-way over smooth, brightly coloured rocks. The area is spotted with campgrounds and bed and breakfast accommodations so that you can tailor your visit.
Best of Uganda
Go in search of the endangered Mountain Gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, along with chimpanzee tracking in Kyambura Gorge, and multiple game drives in Queen Elizabeth National Park with its amazing selection of wildlife – including tree climbing, lions, and an optional visit to Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary on the beautiful Lake Victoria are just some of the very best reasons to visit Uganda. This fully hosted safari through the Pearl of Africa is really something special.
