BUHOMA; THE PIONEER OF GORILLA TREKKING IN UGANDA – UGANDA SAFARI NEWS

Gorilla trekking in Uganda was not in existence before the year 1993 when the Mubare gorilla family was officially introduced for that every encounter inspiring many travellers to undertake gorilla safaris in Uganda.
Buhoma in the north of Bwindi was the first region to develop the gorilla tracking activity something that it dominated for a couple of years before emergence of other areas like Ruhija, Rushaga and Nkuringo with habituated gorilla families presenting more options for gorilla safari tours in Uganda.
Buhoma sector has got three habituated gorilla families namely; Habinyanja, Rushegura and Mubare that have got the capacity of taking up to 24 gorilla trekkers per day. Due to its pioneer position, Buhoma attracted more tourism investments including accommodation units for gorilla safari undertakers compared to other regions of Bwindi.
In addition to a wide range of accommodation, Buhoma sector has got an easy connection to other famous destination that is always encountered on safari tours in Uganda - Queen Elizabeth National Park a reason that explains why its gorilla permits are so competed for by Uganda gorilla trekking safari tour undertakers.

THE MOUNTAIN GORILLAS OF THE IMPENETRABLE NATIONAL PARK OF BWINDI – UGANDA SAFARI NEWS

Positioned in the south west of Uganda, Bwindi Impenetrable National Park has got almost half of the world’s critically endangered mountain gorillas that have formed the ground for gorilla trekking safaris in Uganda. Extending to over 321km2 of Afromontane forest, the hilly landscapes of Bwindi that lie between the altitudinal levels of 1,160 – 2,607 Km above sea level have presented themselves as the ideal habitats for these endangered species.
400 of the 880 mountain gorillas that are apparently thriving in the wild with none known to be thriving in captivity live in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and are always encountered on Uganda gorilla safari tour. Before the emergence of gorilla safaris in the early 1990s, mountain gorillas were like any other wild animals and their conservation efforts were very limited thus threatening their survival. The emergence of gorilla tourism saw them being habituated to accommodate people which attracted the interest of people towards them and their general conservation thus gorilla tracking activity was introduced as another strategy of conserving them.
Thriving in the four (4) regions of Bwindi namely; Buhoma, Ruhija, Rushaga and Nkuringo, Bwindi Impenetrable National Park has got twelve habituated gorilla families that are encountered on gorilla safaris and tours in Uganda and Rwanda. Buhoma has got Habinyanja, Rushegura and Mubare while Ruhija has got Kyaguriro, Bitukura and Oruzogo. Rushaga has Bweza, Kahungye, Nshongi, Busingye and Mishaya while Nkuringo has got Nkuringo gorilla family.

LAKE VICTORIA MANAGEMENT TO BE PRIVATISED – UGANDA SAFARI NEWS

Lake Victoria is known for being the largest fresh water lake on the African continent and the second in the world after Lake Superior in North America. It is also the largest lake on African continent and also the largest tropical lake in the world stretching for 26,600 square miles and is approximately 400,000 years old and famously entered by travellers on Uganda safaris.
Over 40m deep, Lake Victoria formerly referred to as Enyanja Nalubale gets over 80% of its waters from rain with 20% generated from streams that drain into it with records of drying completely in the past and the last time for its drying was about 17,300 years ago and is worldly known for harboring the source of the world’s longest River Nile which drawn the interest of ancient explorers to embark on safaris to Uganda in search of this source including Hannington Speke, Richard Burton and Sir Samuel Baker.
The Lake which has suffered management problems and wide range of environmental problems including uncontrolled pollution, overfishing among others has prompted the government to embark on the efforts of privatizing its management so as to harmonize these problems and increase its profitability to the country including increasing its visitation by those that on safari tours in Uganda.
The Uganda’s State Minister for fisheries Hon Ruth Nankabirwa acknowledged that the private investors are to be allowed to engage in ventures like cage farming, beaches and other tourism attractions that will increase the productivity of the Lake and enhance the satisfaction of Uganda safari undertakers.

RELIGION AND AMIN COULD HAVE A COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGE FOR UGANDA – UGANDA SAFARI NEWS

Uganda is considered to be among the Africa’s ideal destinations considering her potential in offering gorilla trekking safaris, wildlife safaris, chimpanzee trekking safaris, cultural tours, adventure tours and scenic viewing. But like most of other African countries, these safari offerings are available in other countries creating a state of cut throat competition and sometimes a higher advantage as those countries have great concentrations of wildlife or have already positioned themselves better than Uganda in those selling prepositions.
The flagship brand of Uganda has thus remained for long an issue of contemplation and this has sometimes affected the number of travellers planning safari tours to Uganda. It was at the recently concluded African Travel Association (ATA) congress that tourism experts from various countries offered their advice to Uganda regarding the key her selling prepositions.
Three areas have been identified including Uganda Martyrs, Former President Idi Amin’s history and nightlife of Kampala to be one of the potential areas where Uganda can have a comparative advantage over other countries regarding attracting tourists to undertake safari holidays in Uganda. The trend in African tourism is that Africa should focus on  and put together packages that are ideal for Africans. For example, there is no African who has never heard of Idi Amin thus museum and monuments should be put up to tap this potential.
Regarding the Uganda Martyrs, if properly marketed, Uganda can be considered as a top most sacred destination for religious tourists. Alongside the Uganda Martyrs, Uganda is rich in other religious wonders for example; it has the world’s smallest church with the maximum siting capacity of 3 people found in Nebbi, the second largest mosque on the African continent – Gadhafi National Mosque, the biggest church in East Africa – the Liberty Worship center with seating capacity of 15,000 people, the Baha’i Temple which is the only Baha’i Temple in Africa and the Abayudaya (black Jews) of Mbale.
Capitalizing on these selling prepositions would give Uganda a comparative advantage over her competitors which would increase the number of travelers undertaking safaris in Uganda boasting the returns in tourism including revenue and jobs.

COMMUNITY APPROACH; A CONSERVATION STRATEGY IN VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK – RWANDA SAFARI NEWS

There are a range of conservation strategies ranging from ecological, economical to cultural approach. All these have been exercised in different protected areas and have had both positive and negative implications. But of recent, the cultural approach has proved to be more effective and sustainable. Volcanoes National Park also referred to as Parc Nationale des Volcanoes in French is one of Rwanda’s prime safari destinations usually encountered on Rwanda safari. Volcanoes is an enjoinment of the Virunga protected area and thus a home of mountain gorillas which makes it famous for gorilla trekking in Rwanda. It provides a strong core and acts as a selling preposition for wildlife safaris or chimpanzee trekking safaris in the adjacent Akagera and far most Nyungwe national parks respectively. This makes it to be added on the list of travellers while planning their safaris to Rwanda. Volcanoes National Park is quick to realize the strength of this new management approach. It has recruited the former poachers and trained them to take up positions in the thriving eco-tourism trade. This is to be achieved by allocating a portion of the tourist fees paid for gorilla trekking to community projects so as to assist the former poachers identify alternative sources of livelihood that are in good terms with the environment. This will in turn ensure species survival thus sustaining safaris in Rwanda or position its self in the market as a marketing technique only to end up increasing safaris to Rwanda.

UGANDA WILDLIFE AUTHORITY ON A MOVE TO BOOST DOMESTIC TOURISM THROUGH NEW PACKAGES – UGANDA SAFARI NEWS:

A range of innovations have been recorded by the Uganda Wildlife Authority all focusing on boosting domestic safaris in Uganda. The results for this initiative have been positive thus increase in the number of travelers embracing tourism hot spots. Referring to the records at Uganda safari destinations of Queen Elizabeth, L. Mburo and Semuliki National parks, the counts of domestic Uganda safari undertakers has exceeded that of foreign travellers affirming that this trend could definitely paint a new picture of tourism in the country. With the issue of financial crisis hitting the west, the tourism proprietors in the receiving areas have always thought that foreign safaris to Uganda would reduce at the end of the day.
The Uganda Wild life Authority packages designed to increase domestic safaris in Uganda  include; budget accommodation packages, computerized access to the parks and night game drives. These packages have in turn increased domestic Uganda safaris for example; Queen Elizabeth has registered 20% increase in domestic visitors as well as Mburo at 25% and Semuliki at 50%.
The emergence of budget restaurants in national parks like Tembo restaurant in Queen Elizabeth has made meal affordable to the local people. While the development of low budget accommodation has stood as pocket friendly offer for domestic Uganda safari undertakers for example changing of former UWA headquarters at Mweya to accommodation center making it cheaper for locals compared to spending a night at Mweya safari lodge.
The introduction of night game drives in Lake Mburo National Park exposing a range of elands, buffaloes, hippos, Impala, Zebra and Waterbucks have become a flagship package for local people wishing to undertake wildlife safaris. Also establishing low cost accommodation and restaurant on the shores of Lake Mburo is by no means an ordinary incentive to domestic Uganda safari undertakers. This move is anticipated to increase domestic wildlife safaris or it might be stretched to also encourage gorilla trekking safaris in Uganda.

WHERE DOES THE FUTURE FOR OUR ENVIRONMENT STANDS?-UGANDA SAFARIS

Uganda is one of the blessed countries in Africa and the in world in terms of its wildlife diversity, vegetation and landscapes. The riches in its wildlife make Uganda a must visit destination and thus attracting safari visits.
Uganda has over 364 species of mammal, about 1062 species of birds, about 13 primate species, plus other wildlife like reptiles, amphibians, insects among others which are habituated by the rich vegetation in the country. Wildlife in Uganda is the core tourism product which needs protection in order to increase safaris to Uganda.
The communities surrounding these protected areas have a habit of exploiting the resources in the protected areas for their own benefits in order to make a living and forget to preserve them for the future generations. This affects the tourism industry and thus decline in the number of safaris in Uganda.
Development in the tourism industry is also affecting and altering the nature of the vegetation. Accommodation and other infrastructural development have led to clearing of some vegetation this leads to the disturbance in the ecosystem running. Development should be in balance with ecotourism, and environment in order to create a good environment for tourism and also to preserve for the future generation and thus increasing safaris to Uganda.
The future of our environment depends on the hands our stake holders. Therefore there is need for conservation and balance between tourism development and maintenance of the environment.
