ONE FRIEND SAFARIS TOUR ACTIVITIES IN UGANDA
Nature-Walking Safaris
Nothing can beat being up close to nature – walking a few paces away from the animals you only read about or see in documentaries. This makes the wild beauty of Uganda even more memorable. From lions and zebras to leopards and elephants, get a glimpse of these wonderful creations in their own habitat. You can’t go wrong by choosing the Murchinson Falls National Park one of the most popular wildlife parks in Uganda. Make sure your walking safari is chaperoned by a local guide with knowledge of the park you are in, of course.
Cultural and Heritage Safaris
The Ndere Cultural Centre in Uganda offers an immersive experience into the diverse cultures that make up the country. From traditional lifestyles to crafts and age-old traditions, the Ndere Centre is a must-visit destination. Every weekday, visitors can enjoy captivating traditional dances and mesmerizing performances that have been a staple since the centre’s inception. A day spent at Ndere Cultural Centre provides an enriching crash course on Uganda and its unique cultural heritage.
Gorilla Trekking Safaris
Uganda is also the primate capital of the world. Uganda has the largest mountain gorilla population (53%; about 459 of them) in the world. Less than 900 mountain gorillas survive in the world today. There are over 5,000 chimpanzees found in Uganda (Kibale forest alone holds a population of more than 1,000 chimpanzees).
