subject: Unusual Holiday Indulgence In Uganda [print this page] As soon as you book your holiday and the time off from work the countdown begins, you look forward to a relaxing, stress free time away from the hum drum of working 9-5. When you get to your holiday do you sometimes find that places are busier than they are at home and that you have to queue everywhere you go, which can sometimes detract from having a great experience on your holiday.
Why not go somewhere off the beaten track? Somewhere thats not overly crowded and to go on a real adventure? Why not enjoy a Ugandan safari. Uganda is not as well known for being a safari destination as most people tend to go to their neighbouring countries instead such as Kenya and Tanzania. Uganda has an incredible diverse species of animal and much to offer any wildlife traveller and with Uganda being on the equator it is warm all year round making it the ideal holiday destination this autumn.
One experience you must try when youre out in Uganda is to embark upon a gorilla tracking adventure. You will never be more humbled and amazed than you are in the presence of a Uganda mountain gorilla. Nothing quite compares to waking up in the morning in a Ugandan safari park with the prospect of searching for endangered mountain gorillas. The Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park is a wonderful introduction to Mountain Gorilla tracking with almost half of the worlds mountain gorilla population living in the area.
Another amazing site to see whilst on your safari is to witness the array of bird species that Uganda has to offer, with well 400 different species of bird youll be busy for days trying to spot them all. The Murchison Falls National Park offers exceptional bird spotting opportunities with species such as Shoebill, Nahan's Francolin and Purple Breasted Cuckooshrike readily spotted out on tour
