Three Nationalparks

The Kibale Nationalpark is famous for its chimpanzee trekking tours and has the highest density of primates worldwide. During Corona times, the park offered the tour half-price. Three hours of seeing those super rare chimpanzees costs approx. $500 a person. Still, it is a multiple-day tour to reach the park close to Queen Elizabeth Nationalpark close by to the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

The Queen Elizabeth Nationalpark at Lake Eduard in the west of Uganda. A bush area with a high possibility to see antelopes, buffaloes, hippos, and various birds. Also offering an incredible boat tour to see wild elephant families and crocodiles. Sadly not including giraffes and zebras.

The Murchison Falls Nationalpark, the biggest national park area, located in the north of Uganda. It has various wildlife, more to offer than the other parks mentioned before. In addition to that, you will experience the waterfalls, an impressive spectacle falling into the Nile.

Four Cities

The capital of Uganda, Kampala. As the biggest and most lively city a must-do. Even though it's essential to take care of your belongings even more over there.

Then there is Entebbe, the city with the airport follows as the first impression of Uganda after arriving per air. Enjoy your stay there with a swim in Victoria Lake and get a taste of the street food.

Don't forget Jinja, the more alternative and backpacker city with coffee places and restaurants designed European. Besides that, you can explore adrenaline sports like water rafting in the wild river Nile. Last but not least, Fort Portal is a city in the western part and starting point for exploring the Queen Elizabeth national park. Famous for good parties and wild nightlife, it is worth a look.

In the end, there is also Gulu, the city in the north close to Murchison Falls. More like a stopover and enjoying more African culture but nothing remarkable.
