A Safari to Uganda
Starting off in Uganda’s capital, Kampala City which is just 42km from Entebbe international Airport, then your 4x4 Safari Landcruiser ride should allow you to embark on your Uganda Safari tour towards the North-Western part of the country to start your Uganda Safari to one of the most beautiful game parks in Africa, the Murchison Falls National Park, here you will not only see the wild animals but also climb to the top of the raging Murchison Falls and get to experience one of the most remarkable world’s most powerful waterfall.
Then We’ll transfer our Uganda safari to Queen Elizabeth National Park in the South West side of the country, where we’ll look for elephants and tree climbing lions.
And then make a top at one of the most beautiful places in the whole of Africa, Lake Bunyonyi, located in the far south west of the country, serene atmosphere and beautiful views, and there a number of activities you can do here involved taking a canoe trip to a nearby island and having a guided walk along the Bunyonyi ridge to a fascinating viewpoint that takes in many of the lakes 29 islands.
One of the major highlights of the trip though is trekking to find the mountain Gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest – one of a lifetime experience, this can be done in a day trip.
Starting with an atmospheric boat ride across the lake in the dark, your 4×4 Safari Landcruiser ride to the park should then allow you to see the ethereal morning mist synonymous with the region.
After an hour with the Gorillas, you’ll be back in the afternoon giving you time for a quick nap before sampling some delicious food at your favorite lodge.
A Gorilla Trekking Safaris can also be done in the neighbouring countries of Congo and Rwanda, a Rwanda Gorilla Tracking Safari in the Volcanoes National Park would be an easy connect for those wishing to do cross boarder safaris.
And then finish off your Uganda Safari Tour to the Source of Nile River, the world’s longest river in Jinja. It’s often said that the simplest things in life are the best, and after a few days here you might be inclined to agree.
Everyone should see an African sunset at least once in their life, and this would be a perfect spot to sample it. Although if you want to step it up a gear, this is the adrenaline capital of East Africa, Jinja.
As well as being the location for the source of the Nile river, bungee jumping, mountain biking, jet boats, horse riding, kayaking, quad biking and world class whitewater rafting all await the adventurous traveler in Jinja and neighboring Bujagali Falls.
