In addition to 451 bird species, including 23 Albertine rift endemics.
The mighty River Nile flows through the park creating a powerful phenomenon at the Kabalega Falls. Enjoy the views of these magnificent falls where Nile forces its way through a gorge in the rocks and tumbles 43m below flowing westwards into Lake Albert. Did you know that Murchison Falls are the most POWERFUL waterfalls in the whole world?
After Murchison Falls National Park, you will visit Kibale National Park; a haven with the largest concentration of chimpanzees. Uganda has highest number of Chimpanzee in the whole world which is about 4950 chimpanzees and Kibale National Park holds about 1500 chimpanzees.
Queen Elizabeth National Park is the largest biotic area in Africa.

You will enjoy a boat cruise on Kazinga channel which connects Lake Edward and Lake George. Some of the best wildlife viewings are done on boat cruise by viewing Squacco herons, hippos, Elephants, Antelopes, and more.
You will visit the Ishasha sector, in the far south of the park, is famous for its tree-climbing lions; these female lions, who enjoy spending the long, are the most memorable sight in the entire park, but don’t miss the superb birdlife or the wonderful boat trip on the Kazinga Channel either.
Then you will have Mountain Gorilla trekking in the jungles of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Did know that Uganda has the highest percentage of Mountain Gorillas in the world? There are currently less than 1200 mountain gorillas left in the world and almost half of the population resides in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in Uganda, the Pearl of Africa.

What To Bring On Your Gorilla Safari:
Tanzania is a popular safari destination in Africa. The Tanzania safari tours and holidays based on the wildlife viewing is incredible, with big cats being especially visible. All the Big Five can be found in Tanzanian national parks and reserves, including the Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti National Park. Almost 40% of the country is protected and set aside for conservation, making it possible to spend two weeks on a Tanzania safari driving from national park to national park while rarely leaving the bush.
Kenya safari tours and holidays offer some of the finest scenery and one of Africa’s greatest wildlife and bird watching destinations.
Kenya is the historical home of the East African safari. The country’s vast savannah grasslands are teeming with charismatic mega-fauna like Big Cats and the Big Five (elephant, buffalo, lion, leopard, and rhino).
Other than that, the landscapes here are truly breathtaking, ranging from deserts in the north to dense forests in the west to the Rift Valley lakes in the center to a tropical coast in the east.
As a result, there is a well-established safari industry in the region, ready to show you one of Africa’s most breathtaking landscapes and an abundance of exotic wildlife.

Uganda is accessible at any time of year. Mountain gorilla trekking is on most tourists’ bucket lists, and permits are available all year.
Uganda is a tropical country that receives a lot of rain. The wettest months are March to May, which can make travel difficult. During the Wet Season some roads become extremely muddy and difficult to navigate.
The dry season months of June to August and December to February provide the best travel conditions, and are also ideal for Ugandan gorilla trekking. The dry season months are also ideal for general wildlife viewing in savannah reserves because animals congregate around rivers and waterholes, and the grass is shorter, making spotting easier.
2. How are the wildlife viewing opportunities in Uganda?
Uganda is home to some of the best wilderness areas on the African continent. Uganda unquestionably has some of the best and most beautiful wildlife in the world.
Uganda has a diverse wildlife population and is home to the big five game animals. Queen Elizabeth National Park, Murchison Falls National Park, Kidepo Valley National Park, and Lake Mburo National Park are the best places in Uganda to see wildlife.
A wildlife viewing experience in Uganda is well worth your time and money, and it will leave you with lasting memories. Uganda, unspoiled and raw, offers a genuine sense of off-the-beaten-path adventure.
Uganda is endowed with numerous natural and cultural wonders that are largely unknown to the general public. Uganda is still relatively unknown, with the majority of tourists interviewed stating that this was their first visit and promising to return with their friends. With an astounding number of hippos, rhinos, lions, leopards, elephants, gorillas, chimps, giraffes, buffalos, and other animals thriving in Uganda’s national parks, Uganda is undeniably endowed.
Uganda is home to over 350 different species of mammals of various sizes. They include large mammals such as gorillas, rhinos, hippos, chimps, buffaloes, lions, leopards, elephants, zebras, giraffes, and warthogs, as well as small mammals such as bats, moles, and shrews. These mammals are classified into three groups: primates (gorillas, chimps, monkeys, and others), carnivores (leopards, African wildcats, cheetahs, and others), and herbivores (Buffalos, elephants, Giraffes and more).
3. Is Uganda safe for tourists?
When traveling to urban areas, travelers should take the usual precautions for their safety and try to avoid traveling at night. Petty crime is a problem in urban areas, just as it is in all poor countries. Each national park is equipped with security personnel in order to guarantee the tourists’ well-being.
The months of June through October are perfect for visiting Kenya. Trails are more accessible and the weather is more reliable during this time. This is also in sync with the annual Maasai Mara wildebeest and zebra migration. Animals are congregating in large numbers around the remaining water sources as the dry season continues.
Unfortunately, high-season prices are in effect all year long, with the exception of June It’s also more crowded,. The crowds are also larger – in some parks, the queue of safari vehicles can take away something from your experience, and some areas of the Maasai Mara can be completely overwhelmed with vehicles during the migration.
However, many travelers prefer the months of November through February because that is when the majority of migratory birds arrive, travel is rarely interrupted by rain, and the country is transformed into a lovely shade of green. Heavy rains are possible during this time of year, turning safari trails into muddy bogs, so most tourists avoid it. During these months, costs are reduced.
2. How are the wildlife viewing opportunities in Kenya?
Kenya’s parks offer a wide range of experiences for wildlife viewers. Many of the most visited National Parks in Kenya, including Amboseli, Maasai Mara, Samburu, and Lake Nakuru, offer excellent chances to see exotic and endangered species on safari. All of these parks have dense animal populations, making them excellent all-around safari destinations where you can see a wide variety of animals in a short amount of time.
The Big Five are commonly seen on safaris. One of the best places in Africa to see big cats is the Maasai Mara, and white rhinos are common at Kenya’s Lake Nakuru National Park. Thousands upon thousands of flamingos flock to the shallow waters of the Rift Valley lakes, particularly Lake Bogoria, each year in search of food.
3. Is Kenya safe for tourists?
A trip to Kenya for a safari is in most cases risk-free, but there are a few things travelers should keep in mind. There is a widespread perception that Nairobi and other major cities in Kenya are plagued by high rates of violent crime.
Kubwa Five Safaris have a good reputation when it comes to safety, and if you pay attention to the safety briefings and do as your guides instruct, you should have no problems.
The optimal time to book a safari in Tanzania varies dependent on the individual’s goals for the trip. Planning beforehand is essential if witnessing the wildebeest migration is the primary goal of your trip. From June to October is when you have the best chance of seeing the wildebeest migration in Serengeti, though you wil need to remain in different parts of the park at different phases of the migration, which is unpredictable because it depends on the rain.
To avoid the crowds, it’s best to book your Serengeti hotel room well in advance of the annual wildebeest migration. If you plan on going on a safari, avoid the months of March through May because that’s when it rains the most.
2. How are the wildlife viewing opportunities in Tanzania?
The chances of seeing exotic animals in Tanzania are high. Lake Manyara, Tarangire National Park, the Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater are all stops on the Northern Circuit of Tanzania safaris. Even though some of these parks are only open during certain times of the year, they all offer fantastic opportunity to see wild animals. If you want to get the most out of it, you should go the whole thing and see the different ecosystems and habitats that make up the park.
The parks are large enough that you can find solitude if you want it, but this is still a very popular route, so you can expect to be among other people at various points. If you need some peace and quiet, the Southern circuit offers slightly more challenging but still excellent game viewing. It’s possible that repeat travelers to Africa who aren’t as eager to see the Big Five would enjoy this route more.
2. Is Kenya safe for Tanzania?
The tourism industry in Tanzania is well-developed and well-seasoned, so visitors need not worry about their safety on a safari in Tanzania.
To counter this, it’s not a good idea to go out on foot at night in Dar es Salaam or any other large city because of the high rate of petty crime. Tourists are occasionally targeted in Arusha and other urban tourist hotspots, but most of the time the bother is innocuous and is really just touts trying to sell things (anything from safaris to beaded necklaces). It is usually enough to be firm and stand your ground to diffuse any situation.
The vast majority of tourists to Tanzania don’t spend much (if any) time in urban areas, therefore this shouldn’t be a problem.

Kaspati assisted us in creating the ideal itinerary that included everything we wanted to see and do on our honeymoon. He was patient and promptly answered all of our questions.
Everything was taken care of from the moment we arrived at the airport, with incredible service and the best accommodations we’ve ever had while traveling.
I wholeheartedly recommend Kubwa Five Safaris and look forward to booking with them again in the future.
Everything was flawless from start to finish.

We would travel with Kubwa Five Safaris again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for personalized service from knowledgeable professionals at a reasonable price
Absolutely nothing like it had ever happened before. Our rides were prompt, and we were treated like royalty the whole way. Likewise, we never once worried for our safety.
Peter, our driver, was fantastic; he was helpful, friendly, and totally chill. Peter was our hero for the journey, and if I were to come back, he would be our driver once again. To see the best of Uganda, the Pearl of Africa, we suggest a trip organized by Kubwa Five Safaris.
The lodging is spotless and the safari was a great experience, but was not even close to being the most beautiful thing that has ever happened to me.
Delicious meals were provided for us three times a day, and we were provided with bottled water to drink while we were traveling in the cars.
Our tour guide was really passionate about giving us the opportunity to see the Big Five animals.
My vacation was just ideal, I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect vacation.
The service and hospitality was amazing and breathtaking. They make you feel at home and secure and guiding you step by step in your trip to have the best experience ever.
