Uganda tours are to improve since Uganda has been named a top tourist destination many times across the world and this has given the country hope that more could be gained out of the sector. The National Geographic puts Uganda among the top 20 global tourism destinations in the year 2013.

The official data says Uganda earns shs 2.7 trillion as revenue from the sector annually. This has greatly improved the tourism sector at the same as increased safaris in Uganda.

The pride of Uganda’s tourism lies in the undisturbed green nature. There are many tourist features in Uganda including bird species, wildlife, and the rare mountain gorillas among others. All these tourist attractions have greatly contributed to increase on safaris to Uganda.
