THE BEST SAFARI IN UGANDA

Uganda is called the pearl of Africa because it’s a destination ripe with adventure. A single itinerary can turn out to be the best safari ever. It’s like ticking off the entire bucket list with/in just one trip. Here’s a brief of what can be done in just Ten Days.

A day in lake Mburo National Park

Lake Mburo is Uganda’s smallest national park. It is also the closest National Park to Entebbe International airport. It is a close 4h drive from Entebbe/Kampala on a day without traffic. The park is known to have a collection of 14 lakes in total with Lake Mburo as the main attraction. A safari day here is enough – yielding to abundant wildlife sightings. Some animals to see include Zebra (main), Giraffes, Warthogs, Crocs, Hippos, eland, impala, Defassa waterbuck, Topi and even Leopard. In July 2015, 15 Giraffes were translocated and re-introduced in the park from Murchison Falls NP. As of today, they have multiplied to a little over 37 individuals. With all the conservation efforts going on, we hope the numbers will go up in a short period.

Three Days in the gorilla highlands

Meeting the endangered Silverback; Mountain Gorillas are by far the most popular animals Uganda has ever had. Visitors flock the country just to see the gentle giants in their natural habitat. Gorillas are found in the greater Virunga Conservation area that includes Uganda, Rwanda and D.R. Congo.

It’s a full day’s activity and yes, it is a highlight of any trip to Uganda.

Queen Elizabeth National park is known as a medley of wonders for a good reason. One of the reasons to visit this park, are the tree-climbing lions. Did you also know there are not many places where lions climb trees? The most popular are Our very own Queen Elizabeth and Lake Manyara in Tanzania.

It is not branded what time exactly the lions climb but there are various motives presumed to cause this kind of behavior. Some include disturbing-flies and bugs on ground, roasting heat & need to cool off.  It is believed that climbing up, increases the chances of enjoying the cool breeze as well as paying no mind to the bugs on ground.
