“If there were one more thing I could do,it would be to go on safari once again.”
Karen Blixen
Majestic mountains, deep “impenetrable” forests, magnificent waterfalls and treasures of the world’s primates – these are the rich natural heritage of Uganda’s National Parks.
Uganda is like a pearl, small but precious: its brilliance is the brilliant green of the highest mountains in Africa, spectacular waterfalls, dense forests and spectacular valleys. But the beating heart of Uganda is its park, the best place to hike and observe rare mountain gorillas.
Half of the world’s surviving gorillas live in Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. But other primate families dominate the landscape and parks; you will find chimpanzees and 10 other species of monkeys in these hills and rainforests.
But Uganda is not all monkey business. In protected areas like Kibale Forest and Queen Elizabeth Park, you’ll find animals commonly seen in the savannah, such as giraffes, lions, buffalo, and elephants.
The Rubenzoris Range is the source of the world famous River Nile. The River Nile runs through the country. The iconic Murchison Falls dazzle visitors with thunder from a height of 45 m (147 ft).
Your safari trip will begin in Kampala, the largest city in Uganda. This is not standing water, but a beautiful, vibrant and friendly hub. There are so many things to do and see (cultural centers, museums and even palaces) enough for a few days of activities.
When you find the streets of downtown Kampala full of shoppers, markets and vendors, you will find that the people of Uganda are friendly and charming. They have gone through a turbulent history, but now they have rebuilt their country and life into a safe and prosperous country.
Uganda today is a truly friendly tourist destination: there are many things to enjoy here, and there are fewer tourists than other countries in the region.
