The Pearl of Africa - Hunting Uganda with Uganda Wildlife Safaris

Uganda, known as The Pearl of Africa offers a great variety of species to hunt, including Sitatunga, Ugandan Kob, Nile Buffalo, Nile Bushbuck and Jacksons Hartebeest to name a few. Hunting in Uganda is a very pleasant experience with friendly people, many of whom speak english. This is a highlight video reel about hunting in Uganda to showcase what Uganda and hunting with Uganda Wildlife Safaris has to offer.

It was fascinating to see how busy the rural towns were and everywhere we went it seemed like the villages were doing well and conducting some form of business/bartering. Uganda Wildlife Safaris run a great operation and everything was very well planned and all the hunting areas and camps are great. I would say above average compared to your regular wilderness type hunting experience. Traveling between the hunting areas allows you to cover a vast portion of the country. Crossing the great Nile River on a fairy late afternoon followed by a drive through the Murchison Falls National park wasn't so bad either!

Hunting sitatunga as well as hunting nile buffalo would be the primary two species for any big game hunter. The combination of hunting in the swamps and then moving camps to this picturesque open, green savanna type area for a totally different hunting experience all together makes Uganda a very versatile hunting destination. With many other game species to be added to the list whilst after the primary sitatunga, nile buffalo and nile bushbuck, a full bag is veritably a must for any serious hunter and collector. You can even hunt Gunthers Dik-dik! Some more information from Christian and his team from Uganda Wildlife Hunting Safaris:

Our core business is conservation through utilization

At UWS we are unashamedly ethical in our hunting operations as well as all other projects we are engaged in. We manage and operate exclusive wildlife areas outside national parks in cooperation with the district local governments as well as Uganda Wildlife Authority and private landowners to create employment and to stop uncontrolled and indiscriminate destruction of wildlife and their natural environment. Our success can be directly attributed to the partnerships we have formed with local communities in our areas of operation. We believe that through sharing not only our profits but our resources and knowledge with local communities, we are changing perceptions about wildlife and thus ensuring future generations will not only enjoy their natural treasures but will also have a means to generate a sustainable income from them.

Exploring the Pearl of Africa

The Republic of Uganda, referred to by Winston Churchill as the Pearl of Africa, is located in Eastern and Central Africa, and lies almost completely within the Nile basin. It is bordered in the east by Kenya, in the North by South Sudan, by the Democratic Republic of Congo in the West, Rwanda in the Southwest and Tanzania in the South.

The southern part of the country includes a substantial portion of Lake Victoria as well as a number of other lakes including Lake Kyoga, Lake Albert, Lake Edward, and the smaller Lake George.

Most of the important cities are located in the south near Lake Victoria, including the capital, Kampala, and the “airport city” of Entebbe.

Uganda is endowed with an extraordinary variety of specialty game, promises an unforgettable and highly satisfying hunting experience. Specialty game animals are the primary attraction for hunters to Uganda, and include a variety of endemic species, such as Uganda Kob and Jackson’s Hartebeest.

All though not endemic to Uganda, this is the prime location to collect exceptional East African Sitatunga and Nile Buffalo.

To UGANDA ???????? from Rwanda by Bus | Visit East Africa

Travelling from Rwanda to Uganda by bus is very easy and comfortable. It takes only 12 USD from Kigali to Kampala.

For most people in the region, travel by bus is the easiest and affordable way to make long journeys, travel by air is more a luxury than a necessity for many and since there is no railway travel in Rwanda the best way to connect Rwanda to rest of East Africa is by road transportation until standard railway tracks are extended to the country from Mombasa through Mombasa across the Uganda border through Kampala and on to Rwanda.

The route by road runs along what is known as the Central Transport Corridor and will be crossing into Tanzania at the just opened one stop common border point at Rusumo, where a few months ago a new bridge was opened too, both generously financed by the Japanese International Cooperation Agency JICA.

For long now long distance travel across East Africa has been done by bus. It is affordable for locals and there is quite the price competition among the different bus operating companies. Lately however, a few airlines are doing their best to give bus services a run for their money by lowering airline tickets for flights within the region. In Tanzania for example, the air tickets for domestic flights sell for as low as $20 including taxes, and tickets for flights across the region can go for $50. Kenya also has some low cost flight tickets that compete favourably with bus fares.

Majestic Shoebill - Amazing Birding in Mabamba Swamp and Entebbe, Uganda 2019 (4K Video)

Face to face with the most iconic bird of Uganda: the shoebill. The Mabamba swamp in Lake Victoria near Entebbe is an amazing place for birding and is one of the most famous locations to track this astonishing bird. The swamp is home to a population of 12 shoebills and it took some effort for our guide and the boat driver to find one of these wonderful birds in the swamp as the papyrus surrounding the channels is very tall. Finally, we were rewarded with a close encounter with this amazing bird.

Welcome to our birding and wildlife safari to Uganda in August 2019. We stayed two nights at the wonderful “The Boma” hotel in Entebbe. Our first destination was the Mabamba swamp where we had our very first encounter with the majestic shoebill and other water birds. The area of Entebbe offers many different species of birds and was an ideal start of our birding trip around Uganda. Immediately upon arrival, we spotted great blue turacos and black-and-white-casqued hornbills.

For animal identification, please refer to the video subtitle or to the species list below.

With best regards,
Sandra and Markus

Uganda Vlog Series - Entebbe Shopping Mall, Black Panter Lookalike???

#WAKANDAFOREVER

In this Vlog I go shopping with one of my cousins at Victoria Mall in Entebbe, we then went to get lunch at Cafe Javas which has great food and amazing drinks!

I was approached on more than one occasion and told: You look like the girl from Wakanda (Letitia Wright from Black Panther) but for some reason I have failed to see the resemblance, comment below and let me know what you guys think!

After, I drove us back to the main road, it wasn't as scary as I thought it would be once I got past the fact that there are ABSOLUTELY NO traffic laws in Uganda LOL!

ENJOY!

Again we would like to take this opportunity to thank Red Chilli Hideaway, for the wonderful trip and specialty Mr Hassan Nsubuga, our driver, ranger, organizer and friend! Thank you!

Our trip to Uganda took 10 days, and I'm sure I'll never forget it. On the top of the cake was the company of two of my sons, Marta and João, since Joana couldn't come due to her busy work agenda. Finally a great thanks to Carlos, long time true friend who, with Red Chilli Hideaway have designed the trip.

This is the second video of a serie of video I'll produce, and I pretend to give you a quick feel of this wonderful and friendly country, UGANDA!

Most tourists who come to Uganda visit more than one destination. You can combine your Queen Elizabeth safari with gorilla trekking safaris in Bwindi, or tour Murchison Falls National Park. For relaxation after your wildlife safari, you can visit Ssese Islands but if you are more interested in adventure, take on rafting on the nile, chimpanzee trekking in Kibale, Rwenzori Mountains climbing and Mount elgon hike.

Queen Elizabeth National Park occupies an estimated 1,978 square kilometres (764 sq mi). The park extends from Lake George in the north-east to Lake Edward in the south-west and includes the Kazinga Channel connecting the two lakes.

The park was founded in 1952 as Kazinga National Park. It was renamed two years later to commemorate a visit by Queen Elizabeth II.

Queen Elizabeth National Park is known for its wildlife, including Cape buffaloes, hippopotami, crocodiles, elephants, leopards, lions, and chimpanzees. It is home to 95 mammal species and over 500 species of birds. The area around Ishasha in Rukungiri District is famous for its tree-climbing lions, whose males sport black manes. Poachers killed six elephants in the park in 2015, triggering both anger and frustration within the Ugandan conservation community.

The park is also famous for its volcanic features, including volcanic cones and deep craters, many with crater lakes, such as the Katwe craters, from which salt is extracted.

Services in the park include a telecenter run by Conservation Through Public Health and the Uganda Wildlife Authority, neighboring the Queen's Pavilion, park lodges, game and scenic drives, and boat launches.
