Why Go on Uganda Safaris?
Uganda is well known because of its amazing wildlife viewing, gorilla trekking, excursions, mountaineering, bird watching, boat cruises, and honeymoon experiences.
During your safari in Uganda, your biggest excitement is meeting the gorillas, as you trek through muddy ways through the jungle as you search for these gorillas in their natural habitat, as the one hour of the activity can be like the Casablanca movie.
The mountain gorillas share 98% of human DNA, and they also do not differ from humans in terms of their characters, traits, and others. When planning for your Uganda safaris, do not miss out on Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, Murchison Falls National Park, Kibale National Park, and Queen Elizabeth National Park. They are the most loved destinations that give the most rewarding experiences about everything to enjoy on your Uganda safaris.
Wildlife Safaris
Uganda is very rich in wildlife compared to other East African destinations like Kenya, Tanzania, and Rwanda. The wildlife of Uganda is mostly favored by the beautiful savannah grassland, which is the home of the largest mammals and a wide range of primates, ranging from the chimps to mountain gorillas, but it still remains an amazing place in East Africa where you can carry out gorilla and chimpanzee trekking.
Uganda is the best and most ideal tourist location for chimpanzee and gorilla trekking, especially in areas like Kibale National Park, Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, and Mgahinga National Park, which will offer you the greatest moments during your Uganda safaris.
Uganda also has tree-climbing lions, which can be seen in Ishasha, in the southern area of Queen Elizabeth National Park. These are as awesome as they can be seen in Uganda and also in Tanzania in Lake Manyara National Park.
Birding/Bird Watching Safaris
Birdwatching activity is excellent in Uganda, as the country is home to 1090 bird species and has two birds that are endemic to the country, that is, Fox’s weaver and the Rwenzori double-collared sunbird, and 24 Albertine Rift endemics, and accounts for 10% of all bird species on the planet, which makes Uganda a popular birding destination in Africa. Uganda’s year-round conducive climate, abundant water sources, and diverse vegetation cover make it one of the best birding destinations in Africa.
Cultural Safaris
Cultural safaris in Uganda are enticed by the visit to the Batwa, especially if one wants to do both gorilla trekking and cultural safaris in Uganda. They used to inhabit the ancient rainforests in Uganda but were evicted in 1911 when the forests were gazetted as national parks.
Hiking Safaris
Most hiking safaris are done from Mount Elgon National Park, the Rwenzori Mountains, and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, which gives you the most unforgettable hiking experiences in Uganda. Hiking up the mountains is more than just a difficult climb; it’s also a scenic trek through the lush forests that grow on the volcanoes’ slopes, a rare glimpse of the gorillas that inhabit the bamboo in the Virunga massif, and a chance to see the unusual birds that have made these highlands a birder’s heaven.
Best time to go on a Uganda Safari
The best time to go on a Uganda safari is June to August, which is the best period to visit Uganda, as the months of June, July, and August are ideal for gorilla trekking. Then December, January, and February are the best months for bird watching in areas like Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, and Murchison Falls National Park. The months of July, August, December, and January are good for wildlife viewing safaris.
The rainy months of March, April, and May are not ideal for a safari because the roads can be quite muddy and cars get stuck, which might cause delays in your activities.
