Oftentimes, when choosing a travel destination, most individuals will instinctively opt for visiting major cities such as Nairobi, Cairo, or Cape Town. However, several non-city getaways, such as Africa’s best-kept secret, a Uganda safari, has not yet received its rightful recognition.

This article will delve into the beautiful and majestic world of the Uganda safari and suggest some of our favorite itineraries for traveling to Uganda with Ker & Downey World Travel.

What You Must Know About a Uganda Safari

Depending on the individual, certain travel destinations may be more appealing than others. While some may prefer to visit major cities, with their extravagant shops and restaurants, to others, these locations can be quite stressful, crowded, noisy, and  overwhelming. For those who enjoy more peaceful and nature-oriented travel, a Uganda safari may be the right journey for you. 

Located in East Africa, Uganda has been referred to as “Africa’s best-kept secret.” Hidden away between major cities is a beautiful location with mesmerizing scenery and majestic wildlife. 

A Uganda Safari is a peak primate observation destination. With several large families of mountain gorillas inhabiting the mountains of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, travelers can spend their days trekking and viewing these wonderful creatures. 

Along with primates and mammals, Uganda is home to over 1000 species of birds. In fact, the country is home to about 11% of the world’s total bird species. So, if you are an avid bird watcher you should add a Uganda safari to your list.

A Uganda Safari is also ideal for adventure-seekers. Travelers can go on game drives, a thrilling way to view wildlife. Along with an experienced guide, you can search for rare animals that are often hard to find in their natural habitat. With an expert guide, you will learn about different animals, their lifestyle, and their environmental impact, resulting in a more fulfilling and memorable trip.
