Reasons To
Visit Uganda

  • Safari Wildlife

    Many people assume Uganda doesn't have much large game and the only reason to visit is to see gorillas. This, however, would be a mistake as the various parks are home to many large mammal species, including lion, leopard, hyena jackal, buffalo and elephant. There are also numerous antelope and bird species.

    Safari Wildlife

  • Chimpanzees

    It is home to the greatest variety and highest concentration of primates in East Africa. There are 13 primate species found within the forest including chimpanzees, red-tailed monkey, L'Hoest's monkey, blue monkey, grey-cheeked mangabey, red colobus and black-and-white colobus.

  • Gorillas

    Making your way through the bamboo forests and into the dense montane forest you will trek for between two and five hours to find your allocated group of mountain gorillas. The sometimes strenuous walk to find the gorillas is always made up for by this truly unique experience!

  • Safari

    Something a bit different which you can enjoy at the Semliki Wildlife Reserve is a night game-drive. Setting off after dinner, you may catch a glimpse of a leopard in a tree; Serval cats, civets, Ugandan kob, mongoose, the strange triple-winged nightjars and nocturnal bush hogs are regularly spotted.

  • Village Life

    Few countries in Africa provide so many opportunities to view such colourful and vibrant village life. Driving through the lush rural countryside numerous villages are scattered along terraced hillsides. The interaction with the local people in these remote locations often generates some of the most memorable travel experiences.

Jacana Lodge

Queen Elizabeth National Park

Jacana Lodge is set amidst thick, lush vegetation in the Maramagambo Forest on the shore of the beautiful Lake Nyamasingiri.

The lodge has eight self-contained wooden bandas each with an en suite bathroom and a private veranda overlooking the lake.

There are two dining rooms, one on the hill-side and the other suspended on stilts over the waters of the lake. A small swimming pool is on the lake shore, next to which is a sauna and separate massage hut with a masseur always available.

The views from Jacana are spectacular and whilst chimpanzees can often be heard calling from nearby and baboon, colobus, red-tailed and L'Hoest's monkeys are often seen around camp.

Whilst the lodge itself is fairly simple and lacks the standards of service and polish that you may find elsewhere in Uganda, the location is superb.
