Hello Travelers, Its long since anyone last posted to this forum Anyway hope you are all well!!! I have read the old posts about Uganda, and i appreciate you for taking time to post some thing. I would like to give you some information. Uganda is very different now since the last time you visited in terms of security, adventure, tours and safaris.
Climate
Despite its proximity to the equator, much of Uganda feels anything but tropical, and many people are not prepared for how chilly it can be. Some of the tour is at elevations over 5,000 feet and highland days can be quite cool if there is cloud cover. One camp is at 8,000 feet and it can get quite cold here. However, when the sun shines, it can conversely get very hot. Humidity is low. Rain is possible almost anywhere but we will probably only experience it in the highland areas and even then it should not be prolonged. A lightweight sweater should be adequate for some of the cool evenings and a lightweight jacket will be useful for early mornings.
Transport in Uganda
Entebbe international airport is the main gateway to Uganda; one only has to book with the variety of airline companies that operate in the country with at least three flights to and fro. These include; British Airways, Emirates Airlines, South African Airways, Gulf Air and so many others. The road network especially on the main routes has been improved thus finding your way within Uganda is easy. To cover short distances, one can board a "matatu"(minibus) for a small fee or opt for a "bodaboda"(moped), which charges a slightly higher fee. Car hire services are also provided in the major towns and the capital city. When visiting tourist sights, a 4wd vehicle is recommended. Drivers may be an asset in case Of a breakdown. There are a number of airstrips scattered around the country and a range of charter companies to choose from which provide internal flights. To get to the islands like Ngamba Island, small engine powered boats are available for a small fee or you may contact your tour operator.
Top wildlife Safaris
Among the top safaris in Uganda, you could visit Queen Elizabeth National Park to see climbing lions, track chinpanzee ,a visit to Murchison falls, here you will hike to the top of the falls to see how the calm Nile forces itself through a narrow gorge through which it explodes into the falls and game drives to see predators with game like Hyenas, Leopards, elephants, hartebeests, Oribis, Uganda Kobs, to mention. There are many interesting tours and safaris that you cant afford to miss in your next trip to Uganda. With Uganda Eco Royal Voyages hospitality is superb, safaris proffessional,trips smooth and packages mind boggling.
Depending on your time for visit, shorter trips can also be arranged like a one day trip to Source of the Nile plus Bujagali falls, one day trip to Ngamba island to see chimpazee, a tour around Uganda's heart city, Kampala for all the time you have you can see something that will be a memory on your way back.
Cheers,Imelda
