The Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) has advertised for firms interested in developing and managing balloon tourism in the Lake Mburo National Park.uganda safari

In addition, Lake Mburo National Park has markedly different fauna to other reserves. Lying in the one part of Uganda covered in extensive acacia woodland, Lake Mburo is the best place in the country to see the gigantic eland antelope, as well as zebra, topi, impala, and several acacia-associated birds. uganda safari adventure

Lake Mburo National Park is one of Uganda’s loveliest wildlife Safari destinations. It is important for game viewing tours, Birding safaris, guided nature walks as well as sport hunting. south africa safaris

The Lake Mburo NP is situated some 250 km southeast of Kampala along the highway between Masaka and Mbarara. gorilla tours

Balloon tourism is already in existence in both Kenya and Tanzania but will be relatively new in Uganda and represents an innovation on the part of UWA to bring in more tourists to the country’s underexploited natural resources. gorilla safari

Balloon Safari is a fashionable safari. Gliding serenely above the trees offers unparalleled panoramic balloon views of the awe-inspiring landscape. The unique perspective gives a much truer and mind blowing sense of the huge expanses of bush. The feeling is indescribable, watching the plains teeming with herds of wildlife. gorilla tours in uganda bwindi

THE Acholi cultural institution, Ker Kwaro Acholi, and the US embassy have signed a $56,165 (about sh105m) two-year contract to revive and preserve the Acholi culture. The project, to be implemented jointly with the Uganda Museum, is aimed at restoring the Acholi cultural practices, norms and values and to help in social development and peace building. gorilla tours uganda

The US ambassador, Jerry Lanier, said the project would renew and preserve the Acholi culture. “This multi-stage project will document recorded oral history, collect archeological objects and photographs, and visit cultural sites in northern Uganda,” Lanier said. The signing of the contract, which took place at the Ker Kwaro Acholi headquaters on Friday, was witnessed by religious and cultural leaders and officials from the US embassy. The project will include production of booklets, trail maps, cultural kits and DVDs for use in tourism and education. Traditional handicrafts, arts and cultural ceremonies will be re-established and sacred cultural sites reconstructed to benefit the community. gorilla safari uganda

Game hunting was introduced in Lake Mburo national park way back. However, for some reason this activity was banned and is only being reintroduced of late. The Game hunting ban is to be lifted in an endeavor to boost the Tourism proceedings.

This activity is used as a way of controlling animal population especially for the herbivores. The animals to be hunted will include the Elephants, Buffalos and Zebras.rwanda gorilla safari

Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) spokesperson Lillian Nsubuga said a deal had been agreed authorizing a private company to sell sport hunting licenses in some areas of the country.

There is now enough wildlife in some areas to support carefully managed hunting,” Nsubuga explained. “We want local communities to benefit from these animals, and of course sport hunting is one way.”gorilla tours rwanda

She added that licenses will only be issued for areas not currently designated as wildlife reserves.

Uganda lost a lot of wildlife to the 1981-86 civil war and since that time we have been trying to recover from that loss. However, the animal numbers have increased with time and Nsubuga claimed that in certain districts several populations, particularly elephant and buffalo, have recovered to the point where they are now a burden to local farmers, disrupting cattle grazing routes and damaging crops.gorilla safaris uganda

This will be another way of getting more foreign earnings and employing the locals like UWA suggested. District residents, who for years have been hunting illegally, will be employed as guides, according to UWA.kenya safari tour guide
