UWA, NGO sign deal to boost tourism in Uganda

Yesterday,the long awaited deal was finally signed by both Lilly Ajarova,the Executive Director of Chimpanzee Sanctuary and Wildlife Conservation Trust and Andrew Sseguya,the Executive director,the Executive Director of Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA).The signing of the memorandum of Understanding  was done at Lake Victoria Hotel in Entebbe.

This was one the key achievements the Uganda tourism industry was waiting for since it will help to bring the various organs of the sector to work together in  bid to promote development.The memorandum of Understanding will see these two organs work together and also train their stuff together.It will smooth the various activities in both parties and enhance prosperity.

Seguya said that protection of the forests is one of the key issues that must be encouraged in this era if  Uganda is to continue benefiting from the tourism sector.This is because wild animals live in these forests and once they are destroyed,these animals will perish.He therefore urge The Chimpanzee Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Trust (CSWCT)

 body to come and work together with UWA since they share a common goal.

The main objective of this deal signed is to create awareness among the community so that the tourism sector is handled in an efficient and effective manner.

Lilly Ajarova, the Executive Director of Chimpanzee Sanctuary also welcomed the partnership saying that it will promote the conservation of chimpanzees and the environment.She said that there is more need by the government to secure more land for the wild animals since tourism is the leading revenue source to this East African country.

Uganda is one of the leading destinations for chimpanzee trekking and many visitors from different parts of the world come to look a

t these human-like apes.However,for the past few years the primates have been under threat due to the increased deforestation that has left their homes destroyed.It is this that the government and various NGO's set up some chimpanzee sanctuaries to make sure that these magnificent primates don't perish.

Embrace a gorilla trekking tour to Uganda & Rwanda

Take it from me,a gorilla trekking safari to Uganda and Rwanda is a lifetime experience that you can ever get.With a lot of adventurous activities that these countries offer,it stands out as the best and many visitors are fond of making repeated trips to these East African countries.

In Uganda,gorilla trekking is mainly done from Bwindi Impenetrable and Mgahinga National Park while in Rwanda,it is only done from Volcanoes National Park.

Have you ever imagined about spending a day in the tropical rainforests of Africa looking at the great mountain gorillas?Then visiting these two countries is your answer.Enjoy a thrilling journey to the parks as you look at the magnificent nature plus taking some clear photos at the equator.Since the distance from Kampala to the south west of Uganda where these elegant primates are found is long,you cant trek the same day of your travel.You are required to have enough rest before going gorilla trekking because it requires one to be physically fit  and relaxed.This also applies to Rwanda.

To ease the work of a company organizing you trip,you are advised to book the gorilla permits in time because they are competitive to obtain due to the high demands.It should be noted that whether in Uganda or Rwanda, a tourist is required to obtain a gorilla permit before he/she can be allowed to see  these rare primates.

Apart from gorilla trekking,there are other tourism activities one can enjoy while in these East African countries like;-chimpanzee tracking in Nyungwe and Queen Elizabeth National Parks,game viewing,bird watching,golden monkey tracking in Volcanoes National Park,cultural tours,spot fishing,whitewater rafting at the source of the Nile in Jinja,Uganda, hiking,nature walks,bungee jumping,and many more
