Uganda – The Ultimate In Safari In Africa

Posted by backpackerssafaris on January 4th, 2020

A Uganda safari holiday provides the intrepid traveler the best that Africa has to offer. From the lush Bwindi Impenetrable Forest with its last remaining Mountain gorillas, to the beautiful Lake Bunyonyi, Uganda offers something for everyone. Our 16 Days Uganda and Tanzania Wildlife Safaris are tailor-made of you’re looking to explore the best of Africa in a short span of time.

Birding through Uganda:

Uganda is Africa’s premier bird watching destination, with more than 1000 species of birds & a combination of Albertine Rift endemics, ‘old forest’ birds and papyrus species. This safari is for the avid birder who wishes to tick off at least 100 new species. From the not-so-hard-to-find shoebill to the Nkulengu rail, you’ll be surprised how many new bird species you’ll see. Combine this with chimpanzee & gorilla trekking.

Bwindi Impenetrable National Forest:

In Uganda’s southwestern corner, the verdant, mountainous forest of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park conserves the country’s most appealing natural asset: around four hundred mountain gorillas, or half of the world’s remaining wild population.

Along the way there’re 120 other mammals to spot, including forest duikers, rare l’Hoest monkeys, olive baboons, bushbuck and black-and-white colobus monkeys, as well as seldom seen forest elephants.

Big Five Safaris in Uganda:

Rhino went destroyed in Uganda in the 1980s, and while southern white rhino have been reintroduced in the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, there’re no reserves in Uganda where you can do Big Five safaris. For Big Four (leopard, lion, buffalo and elephant) safaris, Uganda has 2 options in its western province: Queen Elizabeth National Park, which is the best reserve in the nation for wildlife diversity and its renowned tree-climbing lions, and Murchison Falls National Park for large herds of elephant, giraffe & buffalo. The other Big Four reserve lies in a remote region of northern Uganda. Kidepo Valley National Park is the country’s most rugged wilderness, and in addition to the Big Four, it conserves species discovered nowhere else in Uganda, such as caracal, cheetah and aardwolf – and there are plans to reintroduce white rhino.
