Uganda is blessed with a well-developed national park system, perfect for safaris for adventurers and casual travelers alike. The most common destinations are:
- Murchison Falls
Home to the world’s most powerful waterfall, Murchison Falls National Park exhibits the Nile River being squeezed between an opening in the rocks only 7 meters (23 ft.) wide to then fall 43 meters before continuing on to Lake Albert. Early adventurers found this place so tantalizing that no less than Ernest Hemingway visited (and crashed a plane in the process!). In addition to the falls, the park also offers a wide variety of wildlife, perfect for a game drive on your way to the waterfall outlook.
- Queen Elizabeth
Uganda’s most-visited national park, upon arriving, it is no question why. Offering everything from chimpanzees, leopards, crocodiles, and the famous tree climbing lions with their flowing black manes, QE’s wildlife-viewing never disappoints. The park also contains several extinct volcanoes with their associated craters and majestic crater lakes as well as Lake George and Lake Edward, making boat tours a necessity for any trip. If you’re a lover of nature, you will fall in love with Queen Elizabeth.
There is a wide array of safari packages available to the destinations mentioned above that will suit everyone’s time window and budget. These range from short, two-day trips to comprehensive several-day safaris and overnights. For details, please contact us, and we will be happy to advise you on the various offerings that will best match your needs.
