With Festive Season around the corner, we all need that special get away with the people we love, to wind up the year, think about new goals for the forthcoming year while creating long-lasting memories.
Today we bring you a list of some of the best places to visit in Uganda that will leave you longing to travel every single time.
1.Murchison Falls National Park
It is the largest park in the country, and one of the best places to visit in Uganda for wildlife lovers. In addition to its biodiversity, the Victoria Nile passes through it.
Location: Northwestern Uganda.
What to See: Murchison Falls, the big five, over 450 species of birds, hippos, giraffes and antelopes. It has the largest population of Nile crocodiles in Uganda.
What to Do: Explore the waterfalls, go fishing, boat cruise and game drive.
2.Queen Elizabeth National Park
Handily named just QENP for short, this huge dash of wilderness that lies close to the banks of Lake Edward and the DRC border in the west is Uganda’s most famous national park.
It’s visited by thousands of tourists each year, who come in search of the lazy Congo lions and the swinging chimps that can be seen mingling between the Maramagambo Forest and the grassy savannah.
The whole area is also scarred by countless volcanic features, going from the awesome Katwe craters to great rifts in the earth, making it an interesting and eye-catching place to go on safari drives and game seeking journeys
3.Lake Mburo National Park
Despite being one of the smallest national parks in Uganda, the swaying savannah grasses and riparian habitats of Lake Mburo certainly pack a punch.
They come spotted with buffalo herds and zebras, crossed by prancing reedbucks, and stalked with hyenas.
today, much of the area is clad in young forestry, which springs up from the swamplands that dominate along the shores of the eponymous lake.
These make for great game viewing during the dry season, when the animals congregate at the watering holes.
What’s more, Lake Mburo National Park is one of the most accessible going, with easy access along the highway from Kampala, the capital.
4.Kidepo Valley National Park
Hidden away in the northern reaches of Uganda (in one of the more dubious and unsafe parts of the country), the Kidepo Valley National Park is a great fly-in visit.
It’s sat a whopping 700 kilometers from the capital, and is known for its remoteness.
Totally undeveloped and untouched by mass safari tourism, the region is the old stomping ground of the Dodoth pastoralists.
These semi-nomads shared the landscapes of savannah and mud plain with oodles of buffalo, hippo, oryx and wild dogs, which can still be seen flitting between the grey-haired acacia groves and wetlands today.
5 Fort Portal
Still chuffing after the appearance of tarmacked roads in 2007, the regional town of Fort Portal has a truly enviable position beneath the serrated tips of the mighty Rwenzori National Park.
Chimps and gorillas tread the backcountry close by, giving the place a real feral feel.
However, the center is anything but wild, with human energy dominating the action.
There, it’s all about bustling markets and haggling for local farmer’s produce.
Fort Portal is also a fine base point for launching excursions to the aforementioned Queen Elizabeth National Park, and Lake Edward.
The Pearl Of Africa is blessed with diverse beauty that will leave you breathless, so we cannot limit it to a few places but for now we can point out that those are the best places to start with.
