Nile Delta Cruises - Murchison Falls

Reviewed By MarakaSafaris2019 - Kampala, Uganda

Uganda’s nature is both stunning and scenic, gave us an opportunity, to witness the natural beauty in the endless plains in specific magnificent natural arenas of the world. We definitely enjoyed the vast mosaic of rolling savanna grasslands, visit to the most powerful waterfalls combined with Africa’s wilderness was exceptional, endless savanna, coming this close to nature was a vivid reminder as to why we have always been inspired by the untouched wild.

Lake Mburo National Park

Reviewed By Hillarykatumwa - Kampala, Uganda

The experience in lake Mburo National Park is far unique when compared to other National parks in Uganda.This is not because the park has different animals like gorillas and chimps, nooooo simply because human cattle graze together with wild animals. i was so amazed to see beautiful looking zebras eat on the same grass with cattle.The giraffes in this park are so amazing.The first national park from which i took a boat cruise and sported an African fish eagle for the first time. The experience in this park is soooo rewarding.

Semuliki National Park

Reviewed By martintj2014 - Braintree, United Kingdom

Went there 5 times during 2019. You need a guide, and they are such an asset. You can just walk to the 2 hot springs and cook food and return or be a bit more adventurous. The hot springs are great to see hot water bubbling up and steam rising from the pools. Often too hot when temperature over 30'C. If you're more interested in trees, insects, butterlies, birds or monkeys then it is heading off for several hours into the jungle with a guide. It's great, that is why I went back so often. If you're interested in particular animals etc try and ring a few days before arrival to get a guide who is better in what you want to see. I commonly saw numerous trees, 12 types of butterly, 3 types on monkey, 30+ types of tree and 40+ types of birds. Weather often very hot. Several trips I thought I needed beach wear for the heat, but a burka and wellies for the insects! A compromise was trainers with long trousers tucked into my socks (though wellies would have been better), sun hat, sun screen, water, binocular/camera were well used. A great atmosphere walking through a big forest, you could easily imagine yourself being an intrepid explorer. The last 3 months part of the jungle was flooded, which was bad to the trees and animals.
