Uganda, in East Africa, is so different and intriguing to visit. Also referred to as the “Pearl of Africa,” Uganda is an attractive destination because of its beautiful scenery, a variety of wildlife, and welcoming population. Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, with more than half of the remaining mountain gorillas in the world, is one of the most well-liked tourist spots in the nation. Don’t miss it.
In addition, there are a lot of other national parks in Uganda, such as Murchison Falls, Queen Elizabeth, and Kibale, with a range of rare and endangered African animals. For those who enjoy the outdoors, seek out adventure, or simply want to explore the beauty and diversity of Africa, Uganda is a stunning and interesting travel destination.
Entebbe
We arrived in Uganda through Entebbe, making it our first stop in this stunning African nation. On the banks of Lake Victoria, this bustling city offers a wealth of unique experiences. Entebbe has a little something for everyone. Whether you want to explore the outdoors, learn about the local wildlife, or learn about Uganda’s rich culture and history, Entebbe is a great place to begin your trip. Here are a few of the highlights from our visit:
The Marshes of Lake Victoria
This was one of our most unique experiences in Uganda while visiting Entebbe. We first hopped on a boat that took us from the lake shore to the edge of the marshes. We then transferred to a small, motorized canoe to explore the thick swamp sections that have an incredible variety of birds, egrets and waterfowl. At times, the marshes were so dense that our guide and canoe handler had to use long wood poles to push the canoe forward.
One of the biggest highlights was spotting a female Shoebill Stork with a three-month chick. It was also extraordinary to see a male Shoebill Stork catching a lungfish as we made our way around the marshy labyrinth.
Botanical Gardens
The Botanical Gardens are a great place to experience Uganda’s natural beauty. The gardens, which cover more than 40 hectares and are located along the shores of Lake Victoria, are home to several natural plants and animals. We advise hiring a wildlife expert guide at the entrance gate. It was a wonderful introduction to some of the local wildlife, such as birds, butterflies and monkeys.
We also learned about the various kinds of plants and trees that exist there. It’s an ideal place to unwind for a bit and to begin learning about Uganda’s flora and fauna. The cost to enter the park is $5. And we recommend a tip of $10 per person for the guide. Our walking tour lasted 2 hours.
Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary
A visit to Lake Victoria’s Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary is essential. Over 50 rescued chimpanzees, orphaned or saved from the illegal pet trade, reside at the sanctuary.
The chimpanzee feeding sessions, which take place four times a day, were unforgettable. You’ll get a close-up look at the chimpanzees and discover more about their habits and the conservation measures being made to keep them safe. The Chimpanzee Trust, an NGO that runs the sanctuary and depends on donations to care for the chimps, oversees it. If you donate more money, you can even sponsor a chimpanzee. In addition to being entertaining and educational, going to the Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary is a great opportunity to help Uganda’s vital conservation efforts.
Our guide organized our visit. To get there, we took a 45-minute boat ride from Entebbe. Once we reached the island, one of the researchers gave us a 2-hour tour of the sanctuary, explained how they operate, and provided information about the chimps. We were also able to observe the early afternoon feeding. Our cost for this local adventure was $210 per person.
Our Entebbe Hotel
Upon our arrival, we stayed at Hotel No. 5, a boutique hotel located in a leafy suburb of the city. As the international airport is in Entebbe, we chose to stay there for 3 nights before setting off on our Uganda adventure. That was also a way to start getting acclimated to the local time zone. The hotel was an excellent starting point for our local excursions in the area.
Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary
The Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary is a must-visit destination in Uganda for wildlife enthusiasts and conservationists alike. The sanctuary is in the Nakasongola district, about a 2.5-hour drive from Kampala. The government established the sanctuary to protect the rhinoceros. Poachers had hunted down these magnificent animals to near extinction in Uganda. Today, it is the only place in the country where you can see the rhinoceros in the wild.
The sanctuary is home to about 27 rhinoceros, including both white and black rhinoceros. Rangers guide walks for visitors to see the rhinos up close and learn about the conservation efforts undertaken to protect these glorious creatures from extinction.
Conservation efforts at the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary have been successful in bringing back the rhinoceros from the brink of extinction. The sanctuary works with local communities to raise awareness about the importance of conserving the rhinoceros and provides employment opportunities to the local people. Rangers participate in research activities to understand the behavior of the rhinoceros and to identify ways to improve their conservation.
Our visit was not only a thrilling experience but also a chance to contribute to the conservation of these endangered animals. This is a Uganda destination worth visiting for anyone who is passionate about wildlife conservation.
Murchison Falls National Park
Nile River Safari
Murchison Falls is a breathtaking natural wonder located in the northern region of Uganda. This waterfall on the Nile River is the focal point of Murchison Falls National Park. The Nile squeezes through a narrow gap in a gorge to create a powerful waterfall and a stunning display of cascading water.
One of the best ways to experience Murchison Falls is by taking a boat ride on the Nile River. The boat ride offers an up-close view of the falls and the surrounding wildlife. The number of animals and birds along the riverbanks certainly impressed us. The park is home to a wide range of animals including elephants, giraffes, lions, hippos and crocodiles. In addition, there are tons of tropical and exotic birds.
Game Drives
The sunset drive . . .
One of the highlights was the sunset game drive we took in Murchison Falls National Park. Around 5:30PM, a pride of lions immediately greeted us as we set out in our vehicle. We watched in awe as they lounged in the sun and groomed each other. As we continued, we spotted a variety of antelopes, including hartebeests and waterbucks, and caught a glimpse of a few majestic giraffes. Buffalos grazed in the distance and exotic birds flew overhead. The sun began to set, casting a warm glow over the landscape. It was a truly unforgettable experience. We checked into our lodge at the end of the game drive, feeling grateful for the incredible wildlife we had just witnessed.
The morning drive . . .
The next day we went on an early morning game drive. By heading out at 6:30AM, we had a better chance to spot wildlife during the most active hours of the day. We were thrilled when we spotted herds of majestic elephants and Nubian giraffes grazing, Patas monkeys playing on the trees, and baboons scurrying around. (There are so many baboons in Uganda that they are considered vermin.) Hippos lounged lazily in the water, while African Fish Eagles, Kingfishers and Yellow-Billed Storks caught their breakfast.
Several vultures, soaring high above in the sky, also caught our attention. Impalas seemed to be everywhere, always on the lookout for possible predators. As we took a mid-morning break by the Delta’s edge (where the Nile River meets Lake Albert) to eat fruit, we were thrilled to witness a family of warthogs come to feast on the fruit peels on the ground. It was a fascinating experience, and spotting the Grey Crowned Crane, the official bird of Uganda, added an extra special touch to the morning’s adventure.
Uganda’s Powerful Water Falls
The Murchison Falls lookout point, at the top of the falls, is another must-see. A breathtaking view of the falls will greet you once you arrive at this spot. There is a parking lot available for cars and buses. The falls are incredibly powerful, and the sound of the water crashing down is deafening. The force of the water creates a constant mist in the air, which can leave visitors quite wet. We highly recommend wearing a raincoat when visiting this area to stay dry and comfortable while taking in the stunning scenery. Also remember to protect your camera equipment.
Aside from its natural beauty, Murchison Falls National Park is part of many conservation efforts. The park is home to several endangered species, including the Nubian (Rothschild’s) giraffe and the Ugandan Kob. The park also works to protect the environment and support the local communities in the area.
Our MFNP Lodge
We were ecstatic to stay at the stunning Nile Safari Lodge during our visit to this part of Uganda. The lodge is located on the remote and tranquil south bank of the Nile River, just outside the boundary of Murchison Falls National Park. Luxurious and eco-friendly, the lodge has breathtaking scenic views and a staff that is exceptionally friendly and welcoming, making our stay even more enjoyable. One of the highlights of our stay was having Vervet Monkeys visit us just outside our glass-enclosed shower. It made our stay even more memorable.
Kibale National Park
This is an exciting Uganda destination for nature and wildlife lovers. The park is home to the largest population of chimpanzees in East Africa, making it one of the world’s top destinations for chimpanzee trekking. Kibale National Park is also home to over 12 other primates including the red colobus, black-and-white colobus, and L’hoest’s monkeys. In addition to primates, visitors can also spot various species of birds, butterflies, and other animals. With its lush green forests and rolling hills, Kibale National Park is a true gem of Uganda and a must-visit for anyone traveling to the country.
Chimp Trekking
Chimpanzee trekking in Kibale National Park was one of the high points of our trip to Uganda. We woke up early for a 6AM breakfast before heading to the visitors center where we were split into small groups of 8 people and assigned a ranger who would guide us. Trackers had been sent out to locate groups of chimps in the area earlier that morning. And based on their reported information, each small group of visitors was assigned an entry point to start the trekking through the forest.
Kibale is one of the best sites to watch chimpanzees in their native habitat, with roughly 1,500 of them residing in the forest. It was thrilling to see the chimpanzees playing, eating and grooming each other on the ground and in trees. And we were exhilarated when some even walked right past us as if we were just another forest inhabitant. Being so near to these perceptive and intelligent animals was an experience we will never forget.
It’s important to note that you must acquire a trekking permit. There is a limited number of daily permits; therefore, we recommend obtaining them ahead of time. Permits cost $400 per person. The tour operator who organized our trip took care of this for us, making the process easy and stress-free.
Swamp Walk
We also had the opportunity to go on a guided swamp walk in Bigodi, a small village located outside of Kibale National Park. A walk was led by a local guide who was very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna of the area. The variety of bird species we saw as we walked through the swamp was amazing. These included the Black-Headed Weaver, the Blue Turaco, and the African Wattled Lapwing.
It was exciting to spot some primates during the walk, including the Red-Tailed Monkey and Black-and-White Colobus. We even saw a Blue-Headed Tree Agama Lizard sunning on a tree branch. The swamp was teeming with life, and we were grateful for the opportunity to explore this unique ecosystem.
Overall, the guided swamp walk in Bigodi was a wonderful experience that allowed us to appreciate some of the beauty and diversity of Uganda’s natural world. And, by hiring a local guide, we were able to support the local community.
Chifuruka Village
We had the chance to take a tour of the surrounding Chifuruka Village and the Crater Lakes while we were in the Kibale area. We were able to view both the community’s daily life and the surrounding natural environment throughout this immersive experience. One of our stops during our brief expedition was at a village residence where the owner had a small plantation with various medicinal trees and plants. It was fascinating to learn about the different plants and their purposes. The stroll was an excellent way to enjoy the outdoors and connect with the community.
Our Kibale Lodge
The Papaya Lake Lodge is a true gem located in the stunning and serene Ugandan Great Crater Lakes region. This eco-lodge is situated between two extinct volcanos, with a breathtaking view of the Ruwenzori Mountain Range. The lodge is surrounded by lush, evergreen landscapes and is set against the Lyantonde and Kifuruka lakes, providing a serene and tranquil atmosphere for visitors.
The accommodation is spacious, comfortable, and eco-friendly, with each cabin featuring decks that offer stunning views of the surrounding scenery. The lodge’s staff was friendly, welcoming, and attentive, making sure that our stay was unforgettable. Be aware that all guests must share the only electric charging station for mobile devices and laptops in the main lounge.
Queen Elizabeth National Park
Our drive from Kibale National Park to the northern part of Queen Elizabeth National Park was a stunning and fascinating journey through rural Uganda. We passed by small towns and villages, each with their own unique charm and character. As we got to the Equator, in the Kikorongo area, we had to make a quick stop to take photos with one foot in each hemisphere. It was very cool to witness firsthand the effect of the Earth’s rotation on our planet by watching how water drains in different directions on each side of the Equator line.
Game Drive in Kaseny
After our Equator stop, we continued to Queen Elizabeth National Park, where we did a game drive in Kaseny, near Lake George. We saw a wide range of species during the game drive, including elephants, buffalo, warthogs, antelopes, and baboons. Also, we had the good fortune to see a leopard relaxing on a cactus tree, which was a breathtaking sight.
Another highlight of the game drive was seeing a large herd of Ugandan Kobs grazing in the savannah. Furthermore, we were mesmerized to see the wide variety of colorful and unique bird species as we drove through the park. It was fascinating to see how the different animals interacted with each other, and to observe their behavior in their natural habitat. The scenery was breathtaking, with vast stretches of savannah and distant mountain ranges adding to the beauty of the landscape.
Game Drive at Sunrise
Our day began with a fantastic game drive in Uganda’s well-known savannah area at Queen Elizabeth National Park. The sun slowly rose over the savannah and bathed it in a lovely golden glow. We left just before dawn, scanning the park as we drove for any indication of motion. Since there is so much wildlife in the park, it didn’t take us long to find a small pride of lions. The parents and two cubs were lazing around under a tree, taking in the morning’s cold. We were in awe as we marveled at their intimate proximity and observed as they groomed one another.
We came across a herd of buffalo grazing in the distance as we continued our drive. They were sluggishly munching on the vegetation while birds (Oxpeckers) pecked at their hides. We also saw a family of warthogs trotting along with their tails raised. The hippos were lazing around, enjoying the sunshine and a mud bath to cool off. From tiny, colorful sunbirds to huge eagles and vultures soaring overhead in quest of breakfast, the variety of birds was astounding.
Nature’s hospital . . .
The fascinating salt flats in Queen Elizabeth National Park are a unique feature in Uganda. These flats are located at the bottom of the Rift Valley and are home to a variety of wildlife that come to lick the salt. The locals refer to the flats as nature’s hospital since that’s where the animals come to heal their wounds. It was delightful to watch buffalos, water bucks, and other animals as they relaxed around the salty pools. The salt flats also attract a variety of bird species, including the Lesser Flamingo, African Fish Eagle, and Great White Pelican.
If you are looking for souvenirs to take home, the salt flats lookout area has a crafts market. You will find things like handmade carvings, African textiles, carved masks, and baskets. Buying crafts from the locals helps them earn a living and supports their community.
Uganda’s Kazinga Channel Cruise
A cruise on the Kazinga Channel is a must-do activity when visiting Uganda’s Queen Elizabeth National Park. We boarded a double-decker boat and set off on our journey, gliding along the calm waters. The views of the park and its surrounding wildlife were stunning as we floated along the channel. It was an incredible experience to watch elephants bathing in the water, and buffalos chilling on the banks of the river right next to hippos. Water bucks and warthogs were also drinking water along the edge of the channel. We were also fortunate enough to spot some of the park’s beautiful birdlife such as Kingfishers, the Hadada Ibis, the African Sacred Ibis, Yellow-Billed Oxpeckers and African Skimmers.
With almost 600 kinds of birds reported in the park, the Kazinga Channel is a bird watcher’s delight. Our guide pointed out numerous bird species and their distinctive traits as we cruised down the channel. The stunning black and white plumage of the Pied Kingfishers made them captivating to observe as they dove into the water to capture fish. The African Spoonbills, with long flat beaks used for snatching up tiny aquatic invertebrates, were another magnificent sight. It was incredible to see such a wide variety of birdlife in one location, and the serene setting of the Kazinga Channel added to our wonderful experience.
The Ishasha Sector
The Ishasha Sector of Queen Elizabeth National Park is a hidden gem in Uganda, offering a unique and unforgettable wildlife experience. This part of the park is famous for its tree-climbing lions, a rare and fascinating behavior exhibited by lions in this region. The lions climb up into the trees to escape the heat and avoid the tsetse flies that inhabit the grasslands. But unfortunately, we were not fortunate to see them up on any trees – you just never know what nature has in store for you.
In addition to the lions that can climb trees, the Ishasha area is also home to a vast range of other animals. We observed elephants strolling around the savannah, hippos lazing in a muddy river, and herds of buffalo grazing on the plains while on game drives. More than 400 different bird species, including the African Fish Eagle, Grey Kestrel, and African Harrier Hawk, are present in this area.
Our QENP Lodge
Nestled in the heart of the Queen Elizabeth National Park area, the Katara Lodge offers an unforgettable Uganda experience with its serene and tranquil surroundings. The lodge sits in the Great Rift Valley and offers panoramic views of the savannah, Lake Edward, and the Virunga Mountain ranges. Its location is a perfect base for exploring this stunning eco-friendly national park. The lodge provides excellent service, delicious cuisine, and spacious rooms with private terraces with stunning views. The Katara Lodge is a perfect place for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike.
Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Uganda’s most famous national parks. For us, trekking with the Mountain Gorillas was the biggest highlight of our visit to Uganda.
Gorilla Trekking
We arrived at the Visitors Center early in the morning for instructions and were divided into groups. Each day, the government limits the number of visitors to 48, divided into 6 groups of 8 people each. Every group is assigned to one of the 6 gorilla families in the area.
Fortunately for us, the staff assigned us to the largest family of gorillas which consisted of 19 primates of varying ages. A ranger guided us through the trekking up the sides of the mountain. As with the chimp trekking, trackers go out early in the morning to identify the location of each gorilla family. The starting point for each group of visitors is determined based on the information provided by the trackers via radio. Depending on the location of the gorillas, the trek can last up to 5 hours. Ours lasted 4 hours, so come prepared for a long hike.
Keep in mind . . .
Everyone must wear masks and maintain a minimum distance of 20 feet from the gorillas. However, it is remarkable how close THEY can get to you. One juvenile gorilla pushed a visitor out of the way gently when walking by him. And I had the alpha Silverback walk right in front of me. (I admit I got a little nervous.) It’s difficult to describe the exhilaration and awe of being so close to these magnificent and powerful animals.
This memorable encounter far surpassed our expectations in many ways. It was a privilege to get a close-up look at these legendary primates and observe them in their natural habitat. Even though we could only visit the gorillas for an hour, it was a priceless experience.
The journey down the mountain back to camp was enjoyable and offered breathtaking panoramas of the surroundings. Also, local kids selling artwork of the gorillas greeted us as we strolled into a nearby village. This was another way to provide financial support to the local community.
Permits and Help
Visitors must purchase an advance permit in order to go gorilla trekking. They cost $700 per person and are in high demand, so it’s best to book them months in advance. The permit will grant you 1 hour with the gorillas once you reach them. Our trip operator, Timbuktu, checked availability and obtained our permits. If you want to go gorilla trekking more than one day, you must purchase a permit for each day. Overall, we highly recommend a trip to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park for a chance to see these magnificent animals in their natural habitat.
We advise hiring a porter to assist you on your trek. The porters transport your backpack, camera gear, drink, etc. Also, they help with the more difficult portions of the trek along the steep, muddy, and uneven terrain of the rainforest. Hiring a porter not only makes the journey much smoother, but it also gives the community some much needed work. The cost of a porter is $20 plus any additional tip you choose to give. Even if you don’t think you need one, this is a helpful gesture because these fees support their families. Also, it is an excellent opportunity to support the park’s conservation initiatives and guarantee that the gorillas’ natural habitat is conserved for upcoming generations.
Packing for Trekking
When packing for your gorilla trekking, we recommend bringing gardening type gloves and gaiters, as they won’t always be available for loan. The vegetation can be quite thorny. Wear long sleeve shirts and quick-drying or waterproof trousers. And, of course, bring comfortable hiking boots. The lodges will provide walking sticks. We didn’t think we would need them, but they were very helpful in hiking up and down the mountain. The lodges will be happy to clean your hiking boots and gaiters after your trek so don’t worry about getting muddy while you’re trekking.
Our Bwindi Lodge
The Sanctuary Gorilla Forest Camp is a luxurious and eco-friendly lodge situated inside the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. It’s the perfect base for visitors to begin their trek to see the mountain gorillas. The camp has 10 well-appointed spacious private tents, each featuring a private en-suite bathroom, a comfortable bed, and a veranda that offers views of the lush forest. Guests can enjoy meals in the open-air dining area, surrounded by the sounds of the forest. The lodge also offers a bar/lounge area and a cozy fireplace for relaxing after a long day of trekking.
Organizing a Trip to Uganda
Working with a travel agency with a focus on Africa is crucial when organizing a vacation there. Each nation on this large and diverse continent has its own specific requirements and concerns. To ensure a smooth and pleasurable trip, an operator with expertise and understanding will offer invaluable insight and advise. You will make the most of your trip by having them customize your itinerary based on your interests and preferences.
We made a great choice in working with Timbuktu Travel for our journey to Uganda. Cape Town, South Africa, is home to their main office. However, the organization also employs travel experts in other continents. Joanna, our Maine-based travel advisor, was incredibly helpful when we were making our plans. She was highly responsive to our inquiries, and her knowledge and experience assured us that we were in capable hands.
Working with an operator like Timbuktu also provides you access to the best lodging facilities and international travel partners. They have established relationships with a wide range of providers and can help you select the options that best suit your needs and budget. Joanna made all the necessary reservations and arrangements, so we didn’t have to worry about anything except enjoying our trip.
Our Amazing Guide
Our guide, Julius Mbabazi, greeted us once we arrived in Entebbe. Julius works with Speke Uganda Holidays, Timbuktu’s travel agency partner in Uganda. He was extremely knowledgeable and stayed with us the entire time. We had such a great experience with Julius that we wouldn’t hesitate to request him as our guide again in the future.
Uganda Travel Tips
Here are some things you should know when traveling to Uganda:
1. Currency Exchange
You can exchange your currency at the airport or any of the nearby banks and forex bureaus. Visitors can withdraw cash from an ATM in airports and banks in most larger towns. It’s advisable to have some local currency (Ugandan shillings) on hand for small purchases like snacks or souvenirs.
2. Credit Cards
Most hotels and establishments accept major credit cards. However, use cash for smaller shops and stalls.
3. Airport Transfers
If you’ve arranged for airport transfers through your hotel or tour company, make sure to confirm the details in advance.
4. Visa Requirements
Most visitors to Uganda need to obtain a visa in advance. Make sure to check the latest visa requirements and fees before you travel. Visas usually cost $50 and are obtained online through the Ugandan Electronic Visa System.
5. Health Precautions
It’s important to take appropriate health precautions when traveling to Uganda. The yellow fever vaccine is mandatory. Make sure to take anti-malaria medication and drink only bottled or purified water. Check with your local travel clinic for all recommended vaccines and medications.
6. Plastic Bags
Most plastic bags are banned in Uganda, even though the ban may not be strongly enforced. We recommend not bringing plastic bags into Uganda to avoid possible problems.
7. Electricity
The standard voltage in Uganda is 240V and the frequency is 50Hz. Make sure to bring a converter/adapter as needed, based on the voltage in your country.
8. Luggage on Internal Flights
Luggage is limited to one soft duffel bag per person on domestic flights. The maximum weight cannot exceed 15kg/33lbs and no hard-shell bags are permitted. Remember that these flights are operated by small 12-seat planes flying from airstrip to airstrip.
9. Travel Insurance
Operators who typically plan these trips will require you to purchase travel and medical insurance to cover yourself and any dependents traveling with you for the duration of the trip. You can either purchase it yourself or through the operator. We recommend that your insurance covers, at a minimum, emergency evacuation expenses, medical expenses, repatriation expenses, and cancellation or curtailment of trip. We found the best policy, at a reasonable cost, through Tin Leg but World Nomads is another popular travel insurance company.
By following these tips, you can ensure a smooth and enjoyable stay in Uganda and start your adventure off on the right foot.
Tipping in Uganda
Even though gratuities should not be compulsory, we found that they were usually expected. Everywhere we went we received excellent service; staff at all locations went out of their way to make us comfortable and welcomed. So, it was impossible not to tip as we received such a high level of hospitality from staff, guides, porters, etc. Here is some guidance on gratuities:
- Tipping of lodge staff is usually done at the end of your stay. While you may tip the staff individually, we found that all lodges have a central tipping box in the reception area. We found this to be the most efficient way to tip the staff.

An Adventure of a Lifetime
To sum up, our journey to Uganda was incredible. One cannot help but admire the Pearl of Africa’s inherent splendor, from the bustling cities to the tranquil natural settings. We will always cherish the memorable experience of seeing the amazing wildlife and being so near to the chimpanzees and gorillas.
Overall, we wholeheartedly recommend Uganda as a vacation spot for nature lovers, adventurers, and animal aficionados. We feel tremendously fortunate to have visited this beautiful country and have had such a special time.
