Hikng through the Mountains of the Moon - I took a six day hike through the mountains of the moon in Uganda. This place is gorgeous! It is unspoilt and a must go for anyone who loves pristine... read more destinations. Our guide Francis from Kwezi Outdoors and the team of the porters were great and fantastic. From the time we made the inquiry they were there. Arriving at a new destination can be unsettling even for seasoned traveller but having a meet up at the airport, and staying together throughout the safari hike is so so good.
I highly recommend guide Sam Wako. His incredible knowledge both of the flora and fauna and of the roads, towns, and cities, and culture was invaluable. On the safari, he knew exactly which animals were around. He is a veritable encyclopedia of information about each animal and I gained so much insight from him. In the urban and rural areas, he was an invaluable guide. He knows all the shortcuts in Kampala (very important due to heavy traffic), and was able to get me to all my appointments ahead of schedule. In the rural areas, he knows all the villages, towns, and activities. He graciously adapted to changes I made in my itinerary on a daily basis (I’m easily distracted!), and found ways to still keep us on track. Sam’s knowledge of the different cultures in Uganda’s regions helped me learn so much about Uganda and truly appreciate the uniqueness of each kingdom. His professionalism and wealth of experience being a guide throughout Uganda was an invaluable resource that made all the difference and my trip a success. Thank you!
Just some of the things I packed in:
- Queen Elizabeth Nat’l Park Safari where I saw elephants, lions, hippos, water buffaloes, hyenas, warthogs, baboons, and so much more!
- Trekking in Kibale to see chimpanzees in their natural habitat(surreal!). Also very accessible to persons of all ages and abilities.
- Bungee jumping and whitewater rafting in Jinja
- Fort Portal City (my favourite city in Uganda)
- Crater Lakes and crossing the Equator
- Eating local food in every region
- Community tour in a local village in the Kingdom of Toro (a must to explore the local culture).
- Visits of Kampala: Buganda Palace, 360 view from the National Mosque minaret, crafts and arts, Buganda Parliament, shopping for specific items such as fabrics (Sam knows all the good places!).
- Road trip through Uganda. The natural beauty, forests, animals, agriculture, lakes, savannah, towns, cities, food, and music will leave you in awe.
Uganda is a must visit, a country that is unfortunately overlooked.
If and when you do decide to come, I highly recommend Sam to anyone travelling to this beautiful country.
Uganda has 10 amazingly diverse national parks. Some like the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park are well-known for their gentle residents - the mountain gorillas. From the misty tropical forest there a number of savanna parks where you get to tick off Africa's Big 5 - and in Uganda case plus the 13 species of primates and over 1070 bird species.
From the savannah parks to the mountainous Rwenzori Mountains National Park, with its tropical glaciers, there is a lot waiting just for you. So, whether to choose to visit view wildlife, trek across glaciers, fish in the Nile, walk with zebras, and top it with golf - you will not be disappointed.
And more so, Uganda is not a mass-tourism destination. So your environmental footprint remains small, and your experience private and personal.
