ACTIVE ADVENTURE SPOTS OF UGANDA – UGANDA SAFARI NEWS

Though positioned majorly on a low lying plateau, the destination Uganda features extreme points where adventure Uganda Safaris are always undertaken.

The strong impermeable rocks have for centuries stood in the course of the mighty Rivers like the world’s longest Nile River forming falls, rapids and cliffs generating ground for white water rafting and bungee jumping. Adventure travellers on Safaris in Uganda have always found such activities in Jinja very memorable!

Besides the water activities, Uganda features other incredible sites such as the third highest Mountain in Africa – the Rwenzori rising to 5109m above sea level, Mount Elgon – the 4^th highest in East Africa and the Virunga Volcanoes namely; Muhabura, Sabyinyo and Gahinga which provide an unusual encounter with the African peaks. Active adventure vacation Uganda safari undertakers at times opt to embark on the 8 days hike to summit Margarita peak on Mount Rwenzori. Unlike the adventure Kenya Safari destination of Mount Kenya and adventure Tanzania Safari destination of Mount Kilimanjaro which are free standing, Mount Rwenzori is Mountain range marked with series of ridges that makes the trek beyond the ordinary.
