Uganda safari to Queen Elizabeth National Park: Safari highlights
The Jewel Of Kabale
Commonly referred to as the Switzerland of Africa by many, the beauty of Kabale displayed in the contoured hills is unrivaled.
But beyond these breathtaking sights lie treasures that have turned this southwestern district into a tourism hub.
One of these is the famous Lake Bunyonyi located 8KM off the Kabale – Kisoro road.
Viewed from the hilltops, you can not help but marvel at the mystical beauty of Lake Bunyonyi, also called “the Place of many birds”.
It is said to be the second deepest lake in Africa after Lake Tanganyika in Tanzania, with its depth varying between 44m to 900m.
From an aerial view, the lake is dotted with 29 islands, which vary in size, creating a scenery that is both relaxing and restoring.

Uganda: Planning a Trip to National Parks | #WhereisAJ?
AJAY JAIN
Sub-Saharan Africa is teeming with wildlife across many countries like Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Zambia, Zimbabwe, South Africa and Namibia to name a few. But Uganda is where you may want to be in despite it not featuring on too many itineraries.
The Uganda Wildlife Authority ( is doing a good job managing over 10 national parks and I was fortunate to visit three of their finest recently. Join me in my game drives and plan your own itinerary accordingly.
PARKS VISITED
* Murchison Falls National Park
* Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
* Queen Elizabeth National Park (drove through Ishasha wildlife sector to get here and got a good sense of this park too)
PLANNING AN ITINERARY IN UGANDA’S NATIONAL PARKS
No amount of time is enough is you really love being in the wild and close to its flora and fauna. But we all need to draw a line somewhere - do provision for at least 2-3 full days in each park. When you visit Bwindi, you can be there for just two nights - you arrive on day one, go gorilla tracking the following morning, and return the following day.
MAIN ATTRACTIONS OF EACH NATIONAL PARK
* Murchison Falls National Park: It gets its name from falls by the same name on the Nile river. Don’t miss out on a river cruise where you can get close to the falls and feels sprays all over you (and your cameras!!). The river itself is home to countless hippos and crocodiles while the park boasts an impressive line-up to include lions, leopards, elephants, hyenas, giraffes, water buffaloes and many species of birds, reptiles and other mammals. The landscape draws you in - from the crack of dawn till night falls. Magical is the word for Murchison.
* Bwindi Impenetrable National Park: You go to Bwindi for the endangered Mountain Gorillas. They sure make you work hard for the sightings. Expect to be out all day tracking them through thick forests and slushy paths; the hilly terrain tests you, and be prepared to fall, slip and slide on your backside. A good scrub is what you will need at the end - but the sightings of gorillas will leave you glowing.
* Queen Elizabeth National Park: Another park that will leave you stunned with its virgin beauty. Elephants are to be found in abundance here - as are many other species of birds and animals. Take sunset cruises in the Kazinga channel and go up close to hippos, water buffaloes, crocs and thousands of birds hovering around you. Vast plains with pockets of thick forests make game drives a pleasure and an adventure - you never know what lurks around the corner.
SELECTING THE RIGHT GAME DRIVE VEHICLE AND GUIDE
Your experience in the jungle is largely shaped by your guides and the vehicles they use. You can choose from the comfortable closed vehicles with an opening in the roof or from those open on all sides; I prefer the latter as I can shoot from all angles and also remove the soft covers should I need angles from higher up. I always interview guides before selecting one - not only is their knowledge important, but they should have a good sense and intuition in tracking animals. Of course, no one can guarantee any sightings.
DO YOU BOOK A GAME DRIVE VEHICLE ALL FOR YOURSELF OR SHARE?
It all depends on your budget. A shared vehicle in obviously cheaper but it gives you lesser flexibility in choosing shooting positions as well as asking the guides to take you to your areas of interest. Personally, I save elsewhere but prefer to have a vehicle and guide to myself. I cherish the relative privacy too - it resonates well with the silence of the forest.
HOW DO YOU TRAVEL BETWEEN NATIONAL PARKS IN UGANDA?
Most parks in Uganda are within a few hours driving distance of each other. Of course, it can take longer if you were to go directly from, say, Murchison to Bwindi. The road network in quite extensive in Uganda, and they are mostly of good quality with low traffic density. You can also book rides on small planes that land on strips inside reserves but these are more expensive than equivalent flights in countries like Kenya; lower numbers in Uganda lead to higher operating costs here.

Ecotourism flourishes in The Gambia, a small jewel in west Africa
In this edition of Focus euronews' Francois Chignac reports on ecotourism in The Gambia.
The African continent is known for its wildlife and flora. But in The Gambia you have to look up to the sky. Watch the trees and you will see the country is one giant open-air aviary. Here there are more than 500 species of birds, some of them very rare, explained Francois who visited Tanji Bird Reserve in The Gambia's National Park.
Borderless communities: Pupils travel from Uganda to attend school in Kenya
In some communities, borders are meaningless Take the case of pupils of St.Mary’s nursery school in Kenya. Nearly half of the school’s population travels from Uganda every morning to attend the school that is now tilting their syllabus to suit both Ugandan and Kenyan standards. Raymond has this story for us from the border town of Busia.

The Good Earth team at SASCU in Uganda 2018
Thank you for watching this 2018 update of the Good Earth team's third summer trip to Uganda. During this trip, we were able to spend time at the orphanage and school, connecting with and loving on the orphans, while playing games, singing songs, doing crafts and building relationships. We joined SASCU staff in their weekly outreach of visiting and serving food in two slum areas, and shared the Jesus film with SASCU and their surrounding community (in their native language, Lugandan). These orphans are intelligent, joyful young people, full of hope and faith, destined to make an impact on their community.
Through generous donations, we purchased medical supplies and medicines, several mattresses, much needed cups and bowls, and farm supplies. We took 14 trunks full of items donated by Good Earth customers and Christ Community Church. The orphans and workers were so thrilled to be given new shoes, socks, under garments, clothes, sports balls, toys, candy, school supplies, yarn, sheets and so much more. They loved it!
Our team spent the other half of our time at SASCU's Providence Farm, clearing 5 acres for crops and a large goat pen, weeding and hoeing 2 acres for planting beans, putting in more poles for future irrigation, worming 93 goats, planting beans, harvesting maize, and sweet potatoes. The house is now complete with solar lighting and doors on each room. We watched as a new building was being constructed for a girls dorm. The bore well continues to provide clear drinking water for the farm and surrounding village.
Thank you for partnering with Good Earth through your purchases, donations and prayers to help us share the love of God with orphans and vulnerable children in Uganda. We are humbled and blessed to be a part of this journey and so thankful for your continued support and prayers, on behalf of SASCU. God is so good! Learn more about SASCU at

The park is approximately 400 kilometres (250 mi) by road south-west of Kampala, Uganda's capital and largest city.[2] The town of Kasese is just outside the northeastern edge of the park, while the town of Rubirizi is just outside the park's southeastern boundaries. The park includes the Maramagambo Forest and borders the Kigezi Game Reserve, the Kyambura Game Reserve, and the Kibale National Park in Uganda, and the Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
