Uganda's Tourism not shaken by Terror threats, says Minister

Following numerous terror threats from well known enemy group of terrorist called Al-shabab,the minister of Uganda Hon. Maria Mutagamba said that Uganda as a country is not shaken and more so the tourism sector as more security is buffed within the country and along its boarders.Many tour operators were worried especially after the terrorists launched attacks on Uganda and many of them thought that this could care away tourists including those who had already booked their safaris for this year.However,they gained hope after the minister issued a report stating that there was nothing to worry about after the government came out and boosted its security organs to make sure that both the local people and visitors are well protected together with their properties.

Uganda is the leading tourism destination in Africa and it receives the highest number of visitors annually simply because of its numerous tourism fraternities which are hard to find in other countries.One of the interesting tourism activity Uganda has is gorilla tracking and this is the reason why 50% of its visitors are trackers.These mountain gorillas are mainly found in the areas of Bwindi Impenetrable and Mgahinga National Parks.

However,there are other adventurous activities a visitor can enjoy on a Uganda safari like chimpanzee trekking, culture tours, hiking, wildlife viewing, boat rides, nature walks, kayaking, village walks, bird watching and many more.All these can be enjoyed freely within the country without any interruption and any worry.

You might probably have visited Uganda either on a safari or on a business trip and you realized how peaceful you are while in the country compared to other countries where tourist go back cursing after loosing their properties.
