The nation is home to over 600 fish species, 350 mammals, 1091 plant species, 7 of Africa’s 18 plant kingdoms, 20 primate species (with the highest concentration of Mountain gorillas and chimpanzees), as well as lower animals, reptiles, amphibians, etc. It also has a variety of ecosystems that support lower animals, reptiles, amphibians, and amphibians. It encompasses the vast savannahs, crater lakes, volcanoes, dense rainforests, RAMSAR sites, long rivers (like the Nile), and the enormous Lake Victoria, making it a tourist destination of unmatched splendor. When one chooses to see things through the eyes of Sir Winston Churchill, who dubbed the land as the pearl of Africa, one can thus fully appreciate the biodiversity of Uganda.

Starting with Murchison Falls National Park, Kibale National Park, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Lake Bunyonyi, and ending with Lake Mburo National Park, the safari takes you through some of Uganda’s National Parks. The safari is planned to include a variety of outdoor activities, such as bird watching, chimp trekking, boat cruising, and gorilla trekking—the most notable activity in the legendary continent of Africa.
