Why spend more time on a Uganda safari

Commonly known for harboring the rare mountain gorillas,Uganda is one of the leading tourism destinations in Africa.Many tourists in the world opt for this East African country as they prepare to visit the continent simply because of the wonderful nature and wildlife which is hard to find in other countries.You may not believe this but Uganda receives more than 500 tourists in a fortnight especially when it is a peak season.This is a high number compared to other countries in Africa and this is the reason why it is termed as the "pearl of Africa".

Though some people make it a point o visit Uganda every year,many of them spend less time in this country and this stops them from exploring more about this wonderful country in depth.They come to do a specific tourism activity like gorilla tracking leaving the country just after3-5days.This is time is not enough for them to explore into depth about Uganda and also view some of the hard-to find attractions that this wonderful country has.

One of the less explored attractions in the country is culture.Few culture-based safaris are recorded in Uganda with very few tourists jetting into the country to find out more about African culture.However,a lot is missed by those who don't mind to view some cultural fraternities which present the true lifestyle of a real African man.Blessed with over,45 ethnic tribes,there is no doubt that Uganda is the leading cultural destination where a visitor can get a chance of meeting and interacting with people from different cultural settings.Visiting some of the cultural sites in the country is a lifetime experience that you will live to tell.While at these sites,you will have a glance at some of the unique objects which were used by the early men who where the first people to stay in this beautiful country.

But you cannot talk about Uganda and miss to talk about wildlife.The country has over 15000 mammal species including those that cannot be found in any other country.If you have never seen the big-five animals in one place,then Uganda is the best place to visit.
