Safari
Spoilt for choice might be the best way to think about safari holidays in Uganda. The country is home to an incredible array of national parks that are the abode of some amazing animals, birds and landscapes. In the south-west of the country you might consider a tour through several of the tightly clustered parks. For large animal species such as lion, elephant, hippo, buffalo, monkey, antelope, zebra, impala and crocodiles try Queen Elizabeth or Lake Mburo National Parks. In the same area, if birds and beauty are your thing then Semliki National Park has over 400 different species and some of Uganda's most impressive hot springs dotted along the southern shores of Lake Albert. In a league of their own, are the densely forested parks in south-western Uganda. These parks have been dedicated to the protection of mountain gorillas; around 50 per cent of the critically endangered, global population lives in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest Game National Park and Mgahinga National Park.
Further east in Uganda is Mount Elgon National Park. If you want bird species a-plenty then this fascinating, nature-lovers paradise won't disappoint. In northern Uganda is the country's largest protected area - Murchison Falls National Park. The crowning glory of the park is the cascading Murchison Falls, but there's also a selection of large and small species to be spotted along the banks and some awesome geography to be marvelled at.
