From the rough trails of Bwindi to the calm waters of several water bodies, Uganda is justly known for awesome safari experiences at its world class holiday destinations. By going on a Uganda safari, you will get to some of Africa’s most beautiful places found in this impressive country. Nicknamed the “Pearl of Africa”, Uganda can be explored in diverse ways depending on the travelers’ interests. As some travelers dream of exploring Uganda on self drive, there is another planning to be driven to a campsite so they can get the real treat of African wilderness. Meanwhile, there is also another one looking for an exclusively private trip which includes luxurious comfort, probably having everything from the hotel booking to airport transfers being organized by their tour operator. In other words, this kind of traveler wants a luxury safari.

A luxury Uganda safari just like most other luxury tours in Africa covers high-end services and high-end comfort items including the use of luxurious camps and lodges located at the most strategic spot of the destination so that clients enjoy the breathtaking views of the surrounding, luxury safari van that features a wide and cozy interior plus an open roof to allow you enjoy sightings and the plains at destinations.

To stay at a high end lodge or camp

Accommodation is one of the major factors that determine a traveler’s category of travel. When you choose to go on a luxury safari in Uganda, your tour operator offers a number of high end loges, camps and hotels for you to select from after probably finding more information about them. These accommodations have quite high prices and offer services and amenities that are worthwhile; a variety of tasty foods, extremely cozy environment, much more customer care and many additional amenities like WiFi among others. Most of these luxury hotels are also situated strategically where those staying there can relax and capture beautiful views.

At every destination in Uganda is a luxury lodge or camp. For example, Murchison falls national park has Nile Safari lodge, Chobe lodge and Paraa safari lodge, Queen Elizabeth national park has Mweya safari lodge and Elephant Plains lodge, Bwindi impenetrable forest boasts Silverback safari lodge, Nkuringo Bwindi Gorilla lodge and Chameleon Hill lodge and Kibale national park has Chimpundu Forest lodge and Crater Safari lodge among others. These safari lodges are known to offer super quality safari services.

More gorilla trekking choices

No other mountain gorilla destination has more than one national park where to see these endangered primates apart from Uganda with Bwindi Impenetrable forest national park and Mgahinga Gorilla national park. If you go for gorilla trekking in Rwanda and the DRC, you have no options for destinations except in Volcanoes and Virunga national park respectively. Yet in Uganda, you can choose to do this adventure in either Bwindi or Mgahinga. Some adventurers enjoy gorilla experiences on the same safari in the two different national parks and they describe the two as incredible.

Uganda offers more than just the mountain gorillas

Uganda is most popularly known for the endangered mountain gorillas but is more than just that. It is a primate world with chimpanzees, golden monkeys, black and white colobus monkeys and grey cheeked Mangabey among others. Uganda is home to a large population of elephants, healthy giraffes, tree climbing lions, lots of hippos and various types of antelopes but mainly Uganda kobs and waterbucks.

The world’s known longest river- the Nile starts its journey in Uganda, through Murchison falls where it also forms the strongest waterfalls. According to CNN, Kidepo is the third best national park in Africa. This park is best for adventurers seeking to feel the typical Savannah wilderness of Africa. 

For adrenaline activities, Jinja has it all from whitewater rafting, bungee jumping, kayaking and jet boating.

Enjoy a private safari

If you are not on a private safari, then you are on a scheduled group safari. In Uganda, scheduled group tours have been trending of late. When you travel in a group, you do not have power of choice over most things regarding the trip; you are not free to make last minute changes and to travel to areas that could have not been included on the itinerary. Traveling on a private safari gives power of choice to the traveler. Also, on a scheduled safari, dates are selected for the travelers while the private safari gives freedom to the traveler to choose their own date.

There are also some activities that can’t be done on scheduled group tours, for example the Gorilla Habituation Experience.  

Post COVID-19 era

Uganda is one of the countries in Africa and the whole world that have been less impacted by COVID-19. It is one of the countries with the least figures of people infected and those that have died. From the time this pandemic broke into the world, a number of rules were implemented especially after the travel ban was lifted in the country. However, today most people have decided to resort to private safaris as a way to protect their lives. Face masks and social distancing are a must. It would be a great thing to also carry your own hand sanitizer. Traveling on a private luxury safari is a safer way of being vigilant of your well being amidst this post Covid-19 era.
