Wildlife Game Drives on Honeymoon in Uganda
Natural sensation is love; why not relax on a game drive in any of Uganda’s wildlife parks? The National Parks of Uganda allow a range of wild species to flourish without restriction. While some could be shared by all the national parks, some are only found in certain ones.
Uganda has many wildlife parks spread over the vast countryside. Among these are Murchison Falls National Park, Lake Mburo National Park, Kidepo Valley National Park, and Queen Elizabeth National Park.
Early morning or sunset game drives in Uganda national parks might provide the opportunity to witness creatures such as lions, elephants, waterbucks, leopards, giraffes, buffaloes, cheetahs, zebras, topis, sitatungas, warthogs, wild forest pigs, to name just a few.
Overnighting in or near the game park allows you plenty of time to travel throughout the park and catch up with wild creatures as they either board or exit from their hiding places
Customizing a suitable schedule ensures the correct flow of your journey, free from retreading. Arranging a private car also allows you the flexibility and privacy to go around without bothering anybody on board.
A Boat Journey on Honeymoon in Uganda
Similar to peanut butter and jelly, water and love are similar to each other; most of the water bodies in Uganda are freshwater ones that provide a refreshing wind. The biggest lake in Uganda is Lake Victoria; thus, planning a sunset boat ride along with some food is ideal for your honeymoon there. Couples may enjoy the activities on the banks, like fish net washing on landing sites, gorgeous greenery, and beaches along the banks, and so much more.
Highlights of the honeymoon include the two launch excursions to either Murchison Falls National Park or Queen Elizabeth National Park. There are public and private boat rides available in both parks.
A boat excursion to Murchison Falls; you ride the Nile by passing serried gigantic Nile Crocodiles, schools of hippos, riverine wild creatures that go down to relieve thirst, an assortment of water birds, and so much more. The drama at Murchison is incredible as the river Nile water bursts fiercely to create a roaring sound while squeezing down the 6-meter-wide valley.
You should be alert for many wild creatures on the boat ride in the Kazinga Channel in Queen Elizabeth National Park. Among them are lions, a series of crocodiles, hippos, and so many more; some of them include crocodiles, the herd of buffalo, and elephants that like showering from the channel. Many birds enjoy eating from the marshes along the banks, and a stunning vista of the Rwenzori hills opens up.
Gorilla Trekking On Honeymoon in Uganda
How amazing it is to experience gorilla trekking on a honeymoon, an African vacation ranked first on most travel agendas. You must schedule your gorilla trekking permits in advance to guarantee that you will be booked in the same location. With Mgahinga National Park, Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is the main gorilla trekking destination in Uganda.
A Uganda gorilla trekking permit is $800 per person right now. Every permit is sold first come first, hence you should find availability before verifying the gorilla permission.
To avoid driving great distances to keep up with the briefing, book lodging near or within the region of gorilla trekking. Make sure you also have appropriate gorilla trekking gear as the rainforest calls for certain particular clothing.
Trekking Chimpanzees on Honeymoon in Uganda
Seeing the closest cousins of man, the chimpanzees on honeymoon, is fantastic. With around 98% human DNA, chimps behave much like humans. Although each location charges a different fee for chimpanzee trekking, you both need permission.
Kibale National Park chimpanzee trekking permits cost $300 per person; Kyambura Gorge chimpanzee permits cost $50; Kaniyo Pabidi chimpanzee trekking permits. From poachers to homeless chimps unable to return to their habitats, the Ngamba Chimpanzee Sanctuary has saved chimpanzees from captivity.
Ssese Island Honeymoon:
Honeymoon plus peace and quality time is the experience you have on Ssese Island in Uganda. Reaching the island via ferry, boat, or charter plane, it sits in freshwater Lake Victoria.
Great memories alone come from the cold air from the lake, pure water, and the surrounding forest cover. Since the water is said to be bilharzia-free, you may swim in it. Take a forest stroll to perhaps see black and white colobus, vervet monkeys, and so many more different monkey species. You can sight fish, but you bring your own lures and gear. In the evening, enjoy the bonfire by the lake banks.
Some of the honeymoon lodging choices are Victoria Forest Resort, Ssese Island Beach Hotel, and Sand Lodge on Ssese Island
Honeymoon in Uganda on Lake Bunyonyi
Spending your honeymoon in calm Lake Bunyonyi in Kabale district is unforgettable. Born on the bottom of the rift valley by faulting, Lake Bunyonyi is the second deepest lake in Africa. Among the 29 islands in the lake are Akampene Island, the well-known Punishment Island, Bushara Island, Njuyeera Islands, and others. To take in the spectacular scenery and attractions on every one of these islands, one may canoe.
Activities like swimming in the lake, bird viewing, hiking, chilling and resting, canoeing, nature walk, community visit, and so much more are available to you on your honeymoon. Writing and verifying your Lake Bunyonyi travel plans will enable you to maximize allthe interesting activities.
Bunyonyi is the name meaning little birds; in fact, Lake Bunyonyi is constantly blessed by many birds that graze and nest in the nearby grassland and woodland cover.
Trekking Mountains During Honeymoon in Uganda
A day’s journey to mountains such as Mountain Muhavura, Mountain Sabyinyo, and Mountain Gahinga in the far western portion of Uganda will test your fitness, even if hiking is exhausting and sometimes takes several days.
While you may not need any particular tools, reaching the top calls for some degree of fitness. Enjoy your sensual time with me, surrounded by the breathtaking view of plant cover free from disturbances.
Although you might also choose to ascend the Rwenzori Mountains, also known as the mountains of the moon, success requires more than one week. To get your muscles ready for trekking, you must make previous plans and practice.
Birding while on Honeymoon in Uganda
If you like birding, a honeymoon in Uganda is the ideal location. Among the nearly 1000 bird species found in Uganda are several on the IUCN Red List. Uganda, particularly in the southwest, has 24 species of the Albertine endemics. Among the birds you may find are shoe bill, the Fox weaver, the Rwenzori Turaco, the Archer’s Robin-chat, the Collared Apalis, the Short-tailed Warbler, the Rwenzori Batis, the unusual Weaver, and so many more.
Choosing the ideal birding locations and arranging them into an amazing trip for your honeymoon in Uganda ensures access to a fantastic range of species. Among Uganda’s well-known birding sites are Mabamba swamp, Bwindi Forest National Park, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Murchison Falls National Park, Lutembe Beach, Botanical Beach, and many more.
White Water Rafting and Nile River Source Visit
A honeymoon on the River Nile provides an opportunity to really experience nature. Hear the river flow’s ceaseless calming whispers. Spend some time enjoying White Water rafting on the strong waves of Itanda Falls.
Expert white water rafting instructors are ready to guide you through the process, even if you have no prior knowledge in this sport. On the Nile, you and your partner may also kayak or tube. On your honeymoon, this is an absolutely wonderful time to savor.
Seeing the source of the River Nile at Jinja is amazing. Given the River Nile’s length—the longest river on Earth—many people find it difficult to imagine where its source may be. Uganda, South Sudan, The Sudan, Ethiopia, and Egypt’s delta make up five African nations the Nile passes through. Take in the lovely River Nile Bank vistas.
