“Africa condensed in one country,” or “The Pearl of Africa” are some of the expressions used to describe Uganda because of nature’s gifts to her. Abundant wildlife is one of these gifts. Uganda’s wildlife population has continued to thrive because of its wildlife reserves. Each Uganda Game Reserve is home to all forms of wildlife; from mammals like the African elephant and vast primate species to the smallest of rodents. Their views are picturesque with undulating terrains, and diverse vegetation coupled with abundant activities to indulge in when you visit the wildlife reserves on a Uganda Safari. Here are some of the reserves to visit while in Uganda.
The Game Reserves In Uganda are quite many and the number might grow in the future depending on how fast the Ugandan tourism industry is growing. These game reserves are dispersed in various regions of the country and harbors a lot of wildlife leaving aside the national parks. In fact, with time, some of the game reserves in Uganda will be transformed into national parks depending on how busy they get. Among the game reserves are Toro – Semliki, Matheniko, Katanga, Pian Upe, Ajai, Bokora, Aswa – Lolim plus more.
These Uganda Game Reserves are nice for game viewing safaris (also referred to as wildlife viewing) and are an alternate place where you can carry Uganda Wildlife Safari. They might be less visited but still, they will give you the experience to explore the less explored wilderness of Uganda or carry out more activities like birding or nature walks.
