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.
