Lake Bunyonyi is the second deepest lake in Africa and a visit is totally worth it 🌍 This is Ugandan jungle and it will probably be wet but who cares 🌧 The landscape is breathtaking and for sure feels like you are off the beaten track 🐾🐾🐾 Meanwhile as always the Uganda hospitality is great, Nile Beer, Uganda Waragi Rum 🥃 and one heck on an adventure.
A breathtaking world heritage site with lovely weather and escarpments. The gorilla tracking experience is one like no other. The Batwa experience is one worth experiencing.
Best place in Uganda to view the tree climbing lions. Along the stretch from the northern sector of Queen Elizabeth National Park, you view a number of animals especially the elephants by the road side. A visit to this sector brings out the wilderness which many would want to see and feel.
