Safari summary
Big Five safaris in Uganda are a must-do for anyone fascinated by wildlife. Big Five refers to buffalo, elephant, lion, leopard, and rhino and the term comes from the animals considered most dangerous to hunt. Now the thrill comes from seeing them in their natural habitat.
Your big five adventure in Uganda will take you to Kidepo valley national park in the North eastern part of Uganda to Murchison falls park, Kibale forest, Queen Elizabeth Park, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, and Lake Mburo national park. A bonus on this safari on top of the wild life is a cultural tour of the Batwa one of the indigenous tribes of Uganda and the Karamajong tribes. You will also do a community toue in Kibale.
