Uganda

James and Stephanie from London travelled to Uganda
Dear Rob, we had a fantastic holiday. Thank you again for all the tips and advice. Boma Guest House is a fantastic place to stay near the airport. Comfortable rooms and great service. Nkuringo Lodge is in a Beautiful setting. Buhoma Lodge – this may be one of our all-time favourite hotels we have ever visited. The tree house room was perfect, the staff were incredible, and the food was excellent. We loved sitting in their open air bar/lounge area in the afternoons and relaxing. Both our gorilla treks were of course incredible. A wonderful African holiday again!
Uganda
Country Map
Lake Mburo
A pretty park centred around the lake with good birding and some good game-viewing. A convenient stop off between Kampala and the south-west.
Queen Elizabeth National Park
Uganda’s premier big game destination, also offering chimpanzee tracking in Kyambura Gorge and river cruises on the Kazinga Channel.
Bwindi Impenetrable Forest
An amazing and beautiful region of ‘jungle’ and densely forested mountains that is aptly named and the best place in Uganda to see mountain gorillas.
Kibale National Park
Predominantly a forested park offering the best chimpanzee tracking experience in Uganda. The Bigodi Swamp is also superb for birding.
Semliki Valley
A remote and scenic region with some good general game-viewing and chances to see more specialist wildlife such as chimpanzee, and shoebill on Lake Edward.
Mount Gahinga National Park
The north-eastern, Uganda portion of the Virunga Volanoes, where volcanoes can be climbed and gorillas can also be seen (sightings less guaranteed than in Rwanda).
Murchison Falls National Park
Main attraction is the spectacular falls themselves, however the park offers superb all round game-viewing, with chances to see shoebill.
Kidepo National Park
Very remote and little-visited but some good game-viewing and lovely open grassland scenery.
