Uganda National parks in top 50 best Africa Parks – Africa Safari destinations.
Things are looking positive for tourism in Uganda as three of her national parks have been ranked among Africas finest fifty National parks to be visited in 2015 by safari bookings, an internet port with huge readership all over the globe. Among the National Parks shown are Queen Elizabeth National Park, Murchison Falls National Park, and Kidepo National Park.
The Holland’s based safari booking service conducted this poll and rating wherein Murchison Falls National Park came in 39th position in Africa, Queen Elizabeth National Park came in 34th, and Kidepo Valley National Park came in 14th.
Although mountain gorilla trekking and chimpanzee tracking respectively make Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Kibale National Parks the most popular and visited National parks in Uganda, they were not mentioned in this poll since only national parks providing classic wildlife viewing were the only ones considered.
Located in northern Uganda, Kidepo Valley National Park was last year ranked as the greatest National park in Africa where chances of viewing predators like lions are very high. The only national park you can find the uncommon cheaters in is Kidepo National Park. One of the greatest places to visit Kidepo National Park in Uganda is among the big herds of buffaloes, Elephants and antelopes. Another addition for everyone visiting Kidepo National Park is the karamajongo culture.
The Kajongo would welcome you to attend and experience their dances and manyata. The disarming program wherein all fighters who used to undermine peace in the area were disarmed is helping Kidepo national park to enjoy relative calm. Now the government is working on roads as well as pushing private companies to run planned and charter flights to the Park, thereby enhancing accessibility.
Murchison Falls national park is the biggest conservation area in Uganda and is well-known for boat rides to the foot of the tremendous falls and to the delta, wildlife drives along the northern bank of the Nile, and sports fishing, which is fast becoming popular. There is no introduction needed here. Visitors to this national park may also make a very difficult climb to the top of the waterfall or trek chimpanzees in Budongo woodland.
Located on the floor of the vast western arm of the East African rift Valley, Queen Elizabeth National Park is in western Uganda. One’s stay is amazing when one takes a boat tour in the Kazinga waterway with the greatest hippo concentration overall. Reaching any crater lake like Katwe is fulfilling; game drives in Kasenyi provide amazing vistas of the moon’s highlands. Improved accommodation and accessibility has resulted in a very good stay and experience.
Uganda is always gaining from such honors since she was selected as the top travel destination in 2015. Should such things go on, we will see more visitors visiting Uganda as long as the nation has relative peace and stability.
allotted funding have now quadrupled from what the ministry used to receive, the tourism industry was allotted thirty billion shillings for promoting Uganda as a tourist destination in the recently finished budget reading. We believe this will go a long way to achieve anything. (Based on only sixteen billion shillings)
