Our 5 Days Uganda Wildlife Safari takes you first to the Queen Elizabeth National Park which offers you one of the most diverse ecosystems in Africa. The park is situated in the western arm of the Great Rift Valley covering 1,978 square kilometres of semi-deciduous tropical forests, green meadows, arid savannahs and swamps bordering the river Nile.
The Ishasha sector of the park is also home to the famous tree climbing lions as well as the Uganda kob, various antelope’s species, topis, hyenas, crocodiles, waterbucks, elephants, baboons, hippos, buffaloes, and 10 primate species including chimpanzees and monkeys. Over 500 species of birds have been recorded here such as the black bee-eater, king fisher, several species of falcons and eagles. During your visit, you also have the chance for a boat ride of the famous Kazinga channel, which links Lake Edward to Lake George.
And finally, you make your way to the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park for a gorilla tracking adventure. Bwindi Impenetrable National Park comprises half of the total mountain gorilla population in the world and the park authorities offers 96 gorilla permits per day for visitors. Here you will venture on an exhilarating climb to the mountain gorilla’s natural habitat of shady bamboo thickets and relish fantastic views of lush green rain forest.
