While other East African Countries are famous for wildlife safaris, many naturalists would argue that Uganda and Rwanda offer an experience that is more diverse, exceptional and breathtaking with Interior Safaris East Africa.
To a bigger extent the Mountain Gorillas may be the most exciting wildlife encounter which the African continent has to offer and the two countries we are featuring this time are best known for captivating birding encounters and timeless scenery, as this tour takes you the valley of the upper Nile Murchison falls National Park, the vast savannas of Queen Elizabeth National Park and many smaller sanctuaries protecting lakes rainforest and volcanic landscapes hold more species of plants, primates, birds and other animals than any comparable region on the continent. Our goal on this trip is to explore and understand this richness in the company of an exceptional naturalist guide, who knows virtually all of the birds by vocalization and sight, and has superb vision for finding distant mammals.
He is a charismatic leader who is known and respected throughout Uganda and Rwanda. In two weeks we will sample all the major habitats of Uganda and Rwanda. Our emphasis will be on seeing and photographing as many birds and animals as possible, but we will also enjoy the hospitality of many friendly people representing different tribes that will host our stay. Expect early morning starts, opportunities to explore on foot and small hotels and lodges sited close to interesting natural areas.
Most tourists visiting Uganda and Rwanda focus just on the locations where the Mountain Gorillas occur. We will have several chances to see the gorillas close up, but the main emphasis will be active exploration of your naturalist-guide’s favorite sanctuary haunts of other species of birds and animals.
On this Interior safaris East Africa Uganda and Rwanda safari you are going to get all birds, wildlife, magnificent scenery, beautiful and different cultures of the many tribes settling in these two small countries we shall be traversing and we promise the ultimate African experience!
