Places to visit in Uganda:
Fort Portal – the town you drive through before getting to Kibale. Lots of lovely places to stay and wonderful views of the Rwenzori Mountain range (or “Mountains of the Moon” as they are also known).
Rwenzori Mountains National Park – Located on Mt Rwenzori, the second highest mountain in Africa. Recently re-opened to visitors, for those of you brave enough to climb the mountains, we hear that it is an amazing experience.
Queen Elizabeth National Park – one of Uganda’s oldest national parks, home to a large array of wildlife (elephants, lions, hyaenas, hippos, etc.), with the famous “Kazinga Channel” trip, where you will see the largest number of hippos and birdlife in Uganda.
Murchison Falls National Park – with the stunning falls and views, another great place to visit.
Budongo Forest Reserve – we work in collaboration with the Budongo Forest Project (BFP) who are researching and habituating chimpanzees. The birdlife is rich and the forest is magical.
Mount Elgon National Park – for the adventurous climber, Mt Elgon is an extinct volcano and the 4th highest mountain in Africa and the 2nd highest peak in Uganda (4321m). The park has magnificent waterfalls, caves, gorges and hot springs. Excellent for hiking with incredible views of Karamoja andenya.
Sipi Falls (not far from Mount Elgon) – stunning falls with amazing views of the Karamoja plains. The Crows Nest offers tented camping or log cabin accommodation, with great food (salsa and guacamole!) and the best views of the falls from their camp.
Kidepo Valley National Park – not so accessible without a vehicle, and extremely remote in the very north of the Uganda, bordering Sudan, has a wonderful array of unhabituated wildlife, set in the picturesque Karamoja plains.
