I know you probably have noticed that traveling has become a pretty concerning action in the last couple of months, with the global spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19). As a Uganda tour Operator, this COVID-19 pandemic has affected many travel plans and tours including safaris in Uganda. Tourists are canceling their booked trips in Uganda due to the closure of borders, international flights and lock down of certain countries where the tourists are coming from. Travelers have also been warned by their home governments through health officials to minimize travel or contact with already affected countries.
As an Africa tour operator company, we have had interactions with different people and our clients that booked their Rwanda safari , Congo safari, Tanzania tour , Kenya safaris tour and other Africa safari tour adventures about their current experience. It’s really tragic! They say. Yes!, it’s a very trying moment but how shall we forget this after? How shall we forget the tragedy! I just realized travelling is best answer to this and below is why;
Travelling is one of the few commonly shared hobbies. As tour operators, we have ultimately witnessed several tourists coming in Uganda for their Uganda tours in the different Uganda safari Uganda tour destinations. Christened the Pearl of Africa, a lot is expected by tourists during their tour in Uganda more so including activities like gorilla trek safaris Uganda, Uganda bird watching safaris,Uganda wildlife safaris and more depending what they are interested.
In this era, travel focuses more on epic photos. However, they have neglected stories behind them that experience is often left by the wayside. Once you decide to go for a holiday in Uganda, take an epic photo that describes your fantastic spot, pose with the best emotion of your heart at that moment. This will surely be a lasting memory that will wash away bad memories at that moment.
Once you take a gorilla safari tour in Uganda, it is an activity that soaks you purely into nature, challenge yourself physically or mentally, or mix with people for a breathtaking a cultural safari in Uganda so you return home a little changed from your travel adventure. All the mighty and beautiful things that will come from this experience are one of the things no one tells you about adventure travel after coronavirus.
If you have been travelling to different destinations, I’m sure you’ve experienced how travel can make you feel even more alive. To me its therapy! There is a way people get excited when they see mountain gorillas up close in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park & Mgahinga Gorilla National Park during their Uganda gorilla trekking safaris. The joy you get may help you live longer.
Activities such as visiting a wilderness area like Kidepo Valley National Park or spending time in a rainforest-like the Bwindi Impenetrable Rainforest, or any forest-like Mabira, can boost our immune systems, which is definitely a good thing, right? Specialists also state that active adventures help reduce our stress levels and even help us sleep better. This is already Good news for those who struggle for a healthy living.
I can personally confirm the amazing benefits of going on an adventure, especially getting back out into nature. The harder, the better. The more I challenge you to challenge yourself, the higher the personal victory and feeling of success when you’re done. It’s an amazing feeling.
Today’s travellers focus more on personal growth than risk-taking. In the past, travellers were more motivated by risk-taking, but today many tend to look at it more as a chance for personal growth. One of the things give you a chance to grow, is being in a variety of different environments.
This is so because, during a Uganda safari tour, you will learn amazing skills on the road including solving a problem-solving for example a breakdown of your 4×4 safari car hire in Uganda, survival skills, adapting to travel in different countries and cultures, and learning other languages.
When you happen to visit a developing country like Uganda, you will learn to appreciate what you have back home. While here for your safari Uganda, you ought to learn how to put things into rather a harsh perspective.
Trust me I have seen people return from trips in Uganda a little different to how they started. During interaction with them after their tour in Uganda, they normally have a fresh perspective on life and new skills that get transferred into their personal and working lives giving them a sense of accomplishment.
To be true, travel physically improves your memory. Therefore it has a positive effect on your mind. Are you that person that wants to improve your memory? According to the US researchers, you need to book a physically active safari in Uganda, like a Uganda cycling safari or a Uganda hiking safari. An active Africa vacation safari involving new challenges is the most beneficial since it even helps you to build connections between brain cells. I assure you getting outdoors and being active can change your life, Uganda gorilla trek safaris change people’s lives.
If you feel grounded at office, school or home, take an Africa adventure safari or a safari to any other destination of your choice. Research by Stanford University has found that people who experience wonder safaris tend to be more satisfied with life and prefer experiences over physical products. It seems that feeling awe brings us into the present moment, and that makes us feel like we have more time available. So, having adventures seems to be a way to break up the normal flow and expand our perception of time.
If you are that person that wants to spend your money well, travel will open up so many opportunities to give back to communities in the countries you will visit during your Africa tours more so developing countries that have economically declined due to the coronavirus pandemic.
When you travel with a responsible tour operator, your money will help local economies and orphans. Operators who are committed to responsible tourism, such as Prime Safaris & Tours Ltd, operate trips so they help orphaned kids at Christ Our Vision Orphanage as well as improve their education and health, support sustainable tourism and many more.
Yes it will be safe to Visit Uganda after this Coronavirus pandemic outbreak. This outbreak is going to end soon and this is not the time to give up. This is an international holiday trip in Africa that you have prepared for a long time and have been looking forward to in ages. Everything will get back to normal after this outbreak because this is like a pause of our normal routine activities. The beauty of Uganda; the Pearl of Africa has remained the same and will always be open to tourists interested in visiting it with their families, friends, as a group or a solo traveller.
