Uganda Holidays
Uganda has the widest variety of primates anywhere in Africa, including chimpanzees and half the world’s remaining mountain gorillas. The remarkable 1,008 recorded bird species provide unquestionably the richest bird watching on the continent. The countryside is an extravagant velvety green. Add the majestic Nile River, the Rwenzori ‘Mountains of the Moon’ and Lake Victoria, and it is easy to see why Uganda is known as ‘the Pearl of Africa’.
On the eastern edge of the Albertine Rift Valley, Bwindi Impenetrable National Park holds half of the world’s remaining 600-odd mountain gorillas.
In western Uganda, Kibale Forest is one of the country’s most beautiful parks. Best known for its large and thriving population of habituated chimpanzees, Kibale contains another 12 primate species – the greatest variety and concentration in East Africa – including blue monkey, grey-cheeked mangabey and the nocturnal potto.
Guided walking trails focus on tracking one of the habituated groups of chimpanzee, which have been intensively studied here. Chimpanzee tracking generally begins in the early morning.
We recommend a two night stay at this park, which would also enable you to do a walk in Bigodi Swamp, a rewarding site for small wildlife and birds.
