People always ask themselves questions as to why you should
visit a place. Some go to the extent of looking out for activities that suit
their lifestyle. Well! If you are to enjoy your trip, always leave room for the
unexpected-try out the unexpected. The reason why I put up this article is to
reference to the great words used by Churchill Winston when he called Uganda,
the pearl of Africa. This was during when he decided to visit Uganda, and after
his visitation, there was no phrase to express what he had seen. All he thought
of was Uganda is the pearl of Africa. Trying to read his mind, I want to dive
into his thoughts at that time and get a big picture of what could have gone up
in his mind.
Here are some of
places or activities that you need to visit while in Uganda.
Bwindi Impenetrable
national park.
Bwindi Impenetrable is one of the remarkable national parks
to think about. This is because of the great wild beasts, the gorillas that
live in this forest. Gorillas are sought to have characters like those of human
beings. There is no way I can begin to explain all that I know about the
gorillas. I encourage you to take a personal trip to discover for yourself.
What makes these gorillas special is that fact that mountains gorillas around
the world are only found in Uganda, Rwanda, and Democratic republic of Congo.
Source of R.Nile.
If you are traveller or someone who knows history, I believe
you have heard about R.Nile. The source of R.Nile is in Uganda at Jinja. Jinja is
a quiet place which is a 3 hours’ drive from Kampala, the capital city of
Uganda. It is normally a hub for tourists who come to the region to carryout
different activities. This is a must-see and because of its Uniqueness, Mr.
Churchill was wrong with his conclusions.
Bird watching.
I think you have been to countries where you never see
birds. Here is in Uganda, birds are everywhere however not every species is
everywhere-there are places where you find different species. Uganda is home to
more 1000 species of birds. This is country that you shall leave at least
without seeing a peculiar bird.
Uganda martyrs.
On June 3rd every year, it is a public holiday in
Uganda. This is because it is the day when the Uganda martyrs where killed. Like
any martyr, these were killed on orders of the king because of their faith. The
memorial site in a place called Namugongo. You can’t miss this history.
Kabaka’s lake.
This is largest man-made lake in Africa. People showed love
for the king by digging this Lake. The royals in Uganda are one of the most
respected people in Uganda.
Uganda’s culture.
Uganda has over 60 different tribes; and you know every
tribe has its culture: political, social, economic and artistic. Now imagine
all these tribes being encapsulated in one area, they form something amazing.
This is Uganda for you.
Different wildlife.
Every country has wildlife but each wildlife pretty differs.
This is amazing. Uganda has several wildlife species that are worthy your time
of view. You need to see some of the animals for yourself.
Unique food.
Uganda is a food haven. You shall find lots of food species
in this country. There countries you walk into and you shall never see things
like jackfruit trees, guava trees, and so on but here you are able to see and
even take the fruit of it if it’s the season.
From all those perspective, I can only imagine Uganda as the
pearls of Africa and this verifies Churchill Winston’s statement.
For those that would like to come and see this marvelous
homeland, all you need is to book a tour with gorilla tour booking safaris, www.gorillatourbooking.com.
