What Consists of a Good Safari in Uganda?
A safari in Uganda cannot be compared to one in Kenya, Tanzania, or Botswana. Those destinations have swarms of animals roaming the savannah plains and have been in safari business longer than Uganda. However, Uganda beats them in other aspects of the varied safari activities it offers.
A good safari in Uganda, of at least a week, will combine primate viewing in any of the three primate destinations (Bwindi for gorillas, Mgahinga for gorillas, & Kibale for chimps and monkeys), a classic game drive safari, and a boat safari in Queen Elizabeth or Lake Mburo. An extensive 2-weeks all-inclusive Uganda safari will add a birding experience, an adventure at the source of the Nile, and a nature hike in the stunning rainforest jungles.
A good active adventure safari in Uganda will combine climbing one of the summits on Rwenzori Mountains, Virungas, or Mount Elgon with a game drive safari, boat safari, and a gorilla trekking challenge in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.
The main attraction in Uganda is the primates. Any good safari in Uganda will include either gorilla trekking or chimpanzee tacking, or both experiences on an itinerary.
Summing it all up
Uganda is good for safari because it gives a varied mix of potential priority activities compared to Kenya or Tanzania. The possibility of seeing chimpanzees and mountain gorillas combined with a savannah game viewing experience and highly sought-after birds is quite an eclectic African safari mix.
will successfully pull off such an all-inclusive journey in about two weeks. And Uganda, unlike Kenya and Tanzania, offers a more private affair with very few tourists flooding its destinations.
Finding wild game on the African savannah plains is always challenging anywhere in the world and requires good spotting, luck, and perseverance. It’s not what the nature television channels depict out to be. A television filming crew can spend hours and days staking out for the perfect shot, and just a few of the shots make it to the final cut just to get the viewer jittery and excited.
