Winston Churchill referred to Uganda as the “Pearl of Africa” because of its breathtaking scenery and diverse wildlife and plants. Because of her proximity to the equator, the climate is ideal for the ecosystem. Uganda has 56 tribes, all of which are friendly and welcoming to visitors. Uganda’s tourism industry has faced challenges since the country’s independence. The conflict in Northern Uganda led by Joseph Kony reduced the number of safari tourists visiting certain regions of the country.
The country’s peace has been restored and the tourism industry is prospering, with an increasing number of visitors opting for a safari in Uganda. Despite being landlocked, Uganda is endowed with numerous national parks, mountains, lakes, and rivers that are home to a diverse range of birds, animals, and plants. Uganda boasts the largest number of the endangered Mountain Gorillas in the world, making it one of the best tourism destinations. Uganda has the greatest Chimpanzee population in East Africa and visitors may easily see the big five (leopards, hippopotamus, lions, buffaloes, and elephants) – Uganda is the finest area to watch tree climbing lions when on a wildlife safari game drives.
Uganda safaris holidays are exciting, soul-satisfying and life-changing experiences. This is largely due to the various activities available to you. As you plan for your Uganda safaris, here are some of the activities that you can take a part in.
