Kibale National Park - Uganda Primates
Kibale rainforest in western Uganda is famous for Chimp tracking. 372 bird species. 60 species of mammals, including Ratel (Honey Badger) and African Palm Civet.
Volcanoes-National-Park-Rwanda
Volcanoes National Park is situated in northwestern Rwanda and borders Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park in Uganda. Volcanoes national park is known as a haven for the mountain gorilla. It is home to five of the eight volcanoes of the Virunga Mountains (Karisimbi, Bisoke, Muhabura, Gahinga, and Sabyinyo), which are covered in rainforest and bamboo. The park was the base for the zoologist Dian Fossey. Golden monkeys are another endangered unique species that occupies the bamboo zone of the Volcanoes Mountains. Revenue derived from golden monkey tourism is required for the habituation of more groups and possibly some reintroduction to newly secured areas of the Virunga Massif.
Queen Elizabeth National Park - Self-drive Safaris in Uganda
Queen Elizabeth National Park in Southwestern Uganda is one of the most popular and well-known game reserves, covering 1,978 square kilometres. The park is said to have the most diverse ecosystems within the East African region. The park is well known for its wildlife, although many tourists say they enjoy the incredible landscapes the most. The park spans from the crater-dotted foothills of the Rwenzori ranges in the north, along the shores of Lake Edward to the Ishasha River in the south, incorporating a wide variety of habitats ranging from savanna and wetlands to gallery and lowland forest. This varied ecosystem means that Queen Elizabeth National Park has one of the highest biodiversity ratings of any park or reserve in Africa. Over 100 mammal species and 606 bird species are known to be resident, including the rare forest elephants, huge herds of buffalo, and other game.
Akagera Self-drive Trips
It is easy to understand why one might consider a self-drive trip in Akagera National Park for day tours. Akagera has a diverse range of habitats which include open plains, steep valleys, and small lakes. This is combined with a high animal density that most people who have visited East Africa or a Tanzanian National Park would find unusual.
Importance of a Self-drive Safari
Self-drive safaris are a method of exploring the wonders of the wild that have several unique advantages. The most pertinent of these advantages, and the one that will be most significant to the majority of readers, is that they are very cost-effective. Using your 4×4 vehicle as transport, as opposed to a hired driver and vehicle, can result in immense savings. Entrance fees for safari parks are already fairly high, and a typical guided safari in Rwanda or Uganda costs between $100 and $200 per day, exclusive of transport, accommodation, and park activities. Using your vehicle as transport will mean that the only costs incurred are fuel and perhaps the $10 per day fee for a park ranger, who is required for walking safaris and for visiting some of the more remote areas of the park. Prices for accommodation and camping are relatively cheap. With self-drive, you have the freedom to mix and match different activities and modes of accommodation, tailoring your safari to suit your budget. For many conservationists, the true essence of ecotourism is independent travel. Giving informed and responsible tourists the autonomy to explore protected areas on their terms can only be positive, and this is the strongest argument for promoting self-drive safaris.
