Kidepo Valley National Park, a top Africa safari destination gives travellers the best wildlife experience like no other wildlife National Park or reserve in Africa. It is a remote unique, beautiful & interesting park that wows travellers. Kidepo Valley National Park is situated miles away from the hustle and bustle of Kampala city and Jinja city, in the North-Eastern corner of Uganda. Though situated in the remote areas, a Visit Uganda or Uganda tour to this park is worth all the hours of travel. Kidepo National Park is one of the few safari destinations in Uganda and Africa that people think they don’t exist. This is one of the few parks where you can go on a wildlife safari game drive and see no other vehicle but only an abundance of wildlife, birds and the rugged and stunning scenic wonders that make up this adventurous destination.
Uganda not only has a rich biodiversity in its wildlife but also a rich cultural diversity as this pearl of Africa has over 56 tribes and Kampala city being the capital city is a conglomerate of all these people hence being a true reflection of Uganda’s cultural diversity. A Kampala city tour gives you an insight into the diverse attractions Kampala city has to offer to you. On 1-day Kampala city tour experience the Uganda public transport which is an adventure of its own with a visit to the old taxi park and witnesses the quite nervous wrecking public transport.
Old taxi park: For those of you who come from countries where you have cabs as taxis used as means of public transport and its only one individual or a pair of friends moving to a particular place that hail it to take them to their destination… well, you need to come to Uganda and a 1 day Kampala city excursion and see our version of taxis! Trust me, it will be worth your time. For starters let me try to shed light on what we Ugandans call a taxi. This is a fourteen-seater van that is used by the general public to commute from one place to another. These taxis are managed by two people i.e. a driver and a taxi tout who we normally call the conductor. The principal job of this conductor is to call for people going to a particular destination to board his taxi, he also solicits the transport fares from the onboard passengers before they get to their destinations. While using Ugandan taxis, there are no fixed fares as the fares are determined by the demand and availability of passengers and travel hours…. You can easily board a taxi for 1000ugx as transport fare from one point to another and after just an hour the same taxi demands 2500ugx to take you still to the same destination. Now that’s where the old taxi park comes in, now imagine a swarm of these vans parked in one place with their conductors shouting all names of places within and outside the city, that’s the old taxi park right there… I tell you it’s an absolute frenzy and chaos when you come here, but don’t feel sorry for us because that’s the way we like it! This taxi park is located in the valley between Nakasero and Old Kampala hill.
While on a Uganda adventure safari vacation trips, you will understand why Ugandans have never won a Rolex but rather can eat one. On your Uganda day safari excursions/trips, if you are not a fussy feeder take a moment and enjoy Uganda’s biggest fast-food delight which is a nicely crafted Rolex. A Rolex is made of an omelette with fried onions, green pepper and cabbage and raw tomato slices rolled together with a freshly pan baked chapati. Trust me when I say that this roadside stall food delight gives KFC a run for its money in Uganda but you don’t have to take my word for it, you’ve just got to taste it to believe it.
With all this and more expect nothing else but a truly exciting and remarkable Uganda safari tour adventure as you get the see the best of Uganda.
Wondering, what is the best time to visit Uganda; the same dry seasons of the year are a good time to safari Uganda tours or take a Uganda tour to any destination.
The months of June, July August and September form the long dry season in Uganda. The rains are low and therefore many refer to this as the best time for adventure vacation tours in Uganda. During this time, roads to those destinations are dry so they are easy to navigate. In the drier months, there are more sunny days to enjoy beautiful sunsets and have clear views as well as better chances of good photography.
The months of December to February are the short dry months of Uganda. During this time the rains are less though these destinations remain open for visitors. However, tourists should note that rains can be expected at any time of the year.
