Tour Summary
Uganda
Whilst Uganda does not boast the teeming herds of animals to be found in Kenya and Tanzania, it has much to offer which is not available in those two countries.
Uganda is a highland equatorial country with a high rainfall in many areas. These areas support the best remaining examples of rain-forest which can be easily accessed and provide probably the best opportunity available in the world to see Mountain Gorilla (Bwindi Impenetrable Forest), Chimpanzee (Kibale Forest) and several other primate species, not to mention a dazzling wealth of birds and butterflies.
But these tours draw in other exciting habitats including the Queen Elizabeth and Murchison Falls National Prks where there are substantial populations of mammals and some excellent birdwatching. In the extensive areas of wetland and acacia savannah in Lake Mburo National Park we should find some of the less common mammals including Oribi, Sitatunga and Bohor Reedbuck. Add to this a boat journey on the Kazinga Channel, the lekking grounds of Uganda Kob and outstanding birdwatching everywhere; Uganda is a very special destination.
