Kampala, Entebbe, Reptile Village, Murchison Falls and Lake Bunyonyi, Uganda, 2016
A report on our travels in Uganda. We started out with a walking tour of Kampala. I highly recommend this 3 or 6 hour walk which is lead by Zulaika -
In Murchison Falls National Park is located on east and west sides of the Nile river. On the east side it's a rain forest and on the west it's more of a savanna. While at the Murchison Falls we saw a variety of wild animals. Hippos, crocodiles, baboons, elephants, jumping monkeys, monitor lizards and various bugs.
After the falls we returned to Kampala. After a day we took a Post Office bus to Kabale in the south west of Uganda. From Kabale we went to a crater Lake Bunyonyi that is over one mile above see level. The depth of the lake reaches 900 meters (over 2700 feet). Locals who live around the lake get around by canoes that are extremely hard to maneuver. People were very friendly and kids never missed an opportunity to practice their English.
We returned to Kampala and immediately left for Entebbe. We stopped by the Botanical Gardens where the original black and white Tarzan was filmed. In the morning on the day of our flights we visited the Reptile Village. Monitor lizards, crocodiles and chameleons were within reach.
Some of the things we didn't do was mountain and silver back gorilla tracking and chimpanzee tracking.
Overall, Uganda made a great impression on both of us. I highly recommend visiting this amazing country. We are definitely planing to return.

WHATS HAPPENING MAGAZINE IN JINJA
One of the most adventurous districts in Uganda is Jinja, a district located at the northern end on Lake Victoria in South Eastern Uganda north of the Equator at an altitude of 3,750 feet (1100 meters) above sea level. Jinja is next to Lugazi and near to Kampala the capital city of Uganda.
Jinja is endowed with great weather and waters as its situated on the east bank of the River Nile, where the longest river in the World, the Nile starts its 6,670 km journey from Lake Victoria to the Mediterranean Sea. This town has a lot of leisure activities you can engage in to enjoy and have fan with your friends, family or spouse.
The key tourist attractions of the district are,
1. Source of the Nile
The Source of the Nile, the second longest river in the world, marketed as a discovery of one of the first European explorers, namely Speke, is an internationally unique attraction. Commissioning a study to improve it as a tourist attraction and implementing the recommendations would greatly help to enhance its potential as a tourist attraction for both international tourists and domestic excursionists.
2. Bujagali Falls
These are located along the Nile River, within a distance of about 10 kilometers from Jinja municipality. The scenery and rafting activities of Bujagali Falls currently exploited on a small scale have an enormous potential for both excursions and international tourism. The falls also offer opportunity for bird watching.
3. Itanda Falls
Itanda Falls are also found on the Nile, 18 kilometers north-west of Jinja town. The falls offer opportunity for bird watching (especially the weaver birds), camping and picnic outings.
4. Kyabirwa Falls
Located 8 kilometers from Jinja, the falls offer a good scenery and landscape for campsites that is not yet fully exploited. Potential also exists for bird watching and Ethnobotany.
5. Lake Victoria Beaches
The lake’s beaches have been partially exploited for location of tourism developments, especially hotels. These beaches include the sites at Sailing Club, Tilapia Club and Masese. Besides the scenery, the lake can be exploited for water sports, which would attract the domestic, foreign resident and foreign non-resident tourists.
6. Islands in Lake Victoria
These include Samuka, Ndaiga, LwabitookeI and LwabitookeII. Apart from Samuka, the rest of the Islands have not been exploited for tourism purposes despite the existing potential. The existing potential includes boat racing, sport fishing, over-night camping, day excursions and various water sports.
7. Industries
The numerous industries found in Jinja attract excursionists, especially school tours. These include textile (Nytil Picfare), beer (Nile Breweries), sugar (Kakira Sugar Works), steel rolling (Jinja Steel Rolling Mills), grain milling (Jinja Grain Millers) and fish (Masese Fish Factory) and tea processing (Garden Tea) industries.
The hydroelectricity plant at Jinja Owen Falls is also an attraction, especially for the school tours and other domestic excursion groups.
8. Sports
Sports facilities, especially the out-standing Jinja golf pitch and the Bugembe Stadium, offer opportunity for attracting international and national tournaments, whose participants are over-night visitors.
9. Antiquities / Historical sites
A number of historical sites exist in Jinja district. These are: Bujagali ancestral site, for Soga tribe ancestral spirits, at Bujagali falls; the current Busoga King’s palace at Nakabango; Mpumudde hill, the historical meeting place of the Busoga chiefs and the
British colonial Governors. Mpumudde is also the place where King Kabalega, of the Bunyoro Kingdom died.
10. Crafts
Crafts shops, workshops and community groups are common in Jinja town and its suburbs, making mats, baskets and other souvenirs from papyrus and other natural materials.
The souvenir industry has a large potential in Jinja district, if programmes for sustainable use of the raw materials are developed.
Activities you should not miss while in Jinja,
Bangee jump, River Rafting & Tubing, Kayaking & Canoeing, Boat Tours, Source of the Nile - Speke Monument

Murchison Falls National Park Safari - Uganda, Africa 2017
In August, 2017, our charitable organization visited Murchison Falls National Park. Here, our team experienced an incredible sunset and sunrise safari as well as a boat tour of the Nile. I am in awe of the incredible creatures we share this planet with. It is my hope the all humans do their part to preserve, protect, and respect animals so they can be appreciated by many generations that follow us. Please share this video with students, friends, family, or anyone who loves wildlife as much as I do. For more photography from this photographer please visit or follow on Instagram: kylacareswp

Bungee into the Nile
This is close to the source of river Nile - Lake Victoria. The bungee wasn't very high, only 150 feet, but it was amazing fun considering the fact that there was a monitor lizard in the water waiting to gobble u up :-)

Uganda Wildlife Conservation Education Centre (UWEC)
Uganda wildlife education center was established in 1952 as the Uganda zoo also known as Entebbe Zoo, and the primary purpose of the zoo was to accommodate the injured, sick, orphaned and rescued animals from poachers and other phenomena.It is located at the shores of Lake Victoria, which is the largest fresh water lake in Africa. In the early 1960s, it was converted to the traditional zoo.
Uganda Wildlife Conservation Education Centre (UWEC) Trust was founded in 1994 to convert the traditional system of zoo from bring an attraction center to use it for Conservation Education purpose.
It surprisingly houses a wide range of wild animals (around 400), plants (around 500), and verities of bird(around 250), many reptiles, various butterflies and other indigenous animals which makes it an attractive venue for imparting education as well as providing a pleasing experience for those who loves wildlife.
