Murchison Falls National Park is the largest and most exciting game park in Uganda. This beautiful park is famous for the world’s strongest waterfall for which the park is named and the wildly tropical stretch of the Nile (the world’s longest river) that bisects the park as it flows toward Lake Albert.

When it comes to wildlife viewing, a Uganda safari itinerary that combines Murchison Falls with the nearby Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary and Budongo Forest offers you with a decent chance of seeing all the Big 5 animals (Lion, Leopard, Buffalo, Elephant, and Rhino) as well as chimpanzees and rare shoebill birds in the course of one short, affordable trip.

Lake Mburo National Park is one of the most surprising national parks in Uganda. Often dropped into the safari itinerary to break the journey from the mountain gorilla trekking forests of the southwest, it has a tendency to over-deliver.

Time and time again the natural beauty and abundant plain games of Mburo proves to be a wonderful trip highlight. And its tranquil atmosphere, soothing views, and fantastic location between Entebbe and Bwindi, provides a welcome relief in a long road trip either to or from the mountain gorillas.

If returning from the gorillas, try to stay a night longer than you initially think necessary; Lake Mburo is the perfect place in which to relax as well as explore. If you live in Kampala or Entebbe, then Lake Mburo National Park is also a great place for a short weekend getaway. Here, you can enjoy a variety of activities such as game drives, boat cruises, bird watching, cycling tours, horseback safaris, spot fishing, game walks, and community visits.

Lake Mburo National Park is a small but awesome park. It is the most accessible national park wildlife safaris in Uganda. The park is home to over 350 bird species & some special mammals.

It is an amazing piece of land. It survived the last Ice Age (about 15,000 years ago) when most other African forests disappeared. Also called the "Place of Darkness" due to its dense treetops, Bwindi is composed of 321 square kilometers of both montane and lowland rainforest. It's fern-rich, vine-covered canopies shelters half of the world's population endangered mountain gorillas.

TREK THE ENDANGERED MOUNTAIN GORILLAS: BWINDI IMPENETRABLE NATIONAL PARK

Making it to the top of every Uganda travel list, Uganda gorilla safaris are a chance to encounter one the rarest animals in the world.

Uganda and its neighbour Rwanda are tasked with the gargantuan responsibility of conserving populations of these critically endangered species. They are funded in no small part through the trekking fees charged for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

With the distinctive crunch sound of the undergrowth beneath your boots, you’ll trek in great anticipation until you hear the whispered words, “They are here”. You will then come face-to-face with a family of gorillas and find yourself bewildered by the similarities of man and ape, humbled and in awe of nature’s creativity.

The best time to visit Uganda for gorilla trekking is during the country’s two dry seasons: between December and February and between June and August. Thanks to the efforts of these treks, gorilla populations are increasing.

VISIT UGANDA'S LARGEST NATIONAL PARK: MURCHISON FALLS NATIONAL PARK

For those who love water adventures, head to Murchison Falls National Park. A beautiful, protected savannah where the River Nile meets Lake Albert, you can enjoy shared or private boat safaris up to the Murchison Falls, completing the last part of the journey to the break by foot.

You can also cruise along papyrus-lined waterways to the river delta, keeping a look out for the tragically-gloomy-looking Shoebill Stork, perhaps distracted by the blue hills of the Congo on the far shore of the lake. It’s one of the places to visit in Uganda that we would highly recommend for its wildlife and sheer natural prowess.

TREAD WHERE ONLY THE MOST ADVENTUROUS TREAD

If wild and remote places catch the attention of your insatiable wanderlust and you have a strong inclination to head to the bits of the map that start to get a bit empty, then you need to head north into Karamoja.

In a beautifully harsh land of semi-arid savanna and sharp-cut mountains, tucked up against the border with South Sudan, you will find Kidepo National Park.

This rugged and isolated wilderness is where you will enjoy game drives and guided walks, taking you to incredible big cat sightings (cheetah, lion and leopard) and massive buffalo herds.

For the twitchers, bird life is nothing short of abundant within this park, a kaleidoscope of winged beauties. Interestingly, sixty species are recorded nowhere else in other Uganda safari parks.

It is also possible to take more challenging treks up into the mountains to visit the Ik people, one of the most marginal communities on Earth.
