3 Exciting Safaris in Africa

A trip to Africa won’t be complete without experiencing and joining a safari. Africa is well-known for its iconic wildlife and spectacular landscape. Many custom-designed safaris cater to both first-timers and experienced travelers. These safaris give travelers the chance to see wildlife and to learn more about conservation issues confronting the ecosystem.

Today, Tatiana Regan will talk about three exciting safaris designed by the African Conservation Foundation (ACF).

1.       The Gorilla Conservation Safari

This trip lasts for three days and entails a visit to the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, a UNESCO-designated World Heritage Site. It is located between Rwanda, Uganda, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The park is known for its jungle forests, lowland forests, rich ecosystem, and diverse species.

This forest is one of the four parks that provide a habitat for mountain gorillas. These gorillas are already considered endangered. As of now, there are only around 1,000 of them left, 340 of which reside in the Bwindi Forest. This is the only species of great apes that are still increasing.

2.       The Uganda Ultimate Conservation Safari

This trip lasts for fourteen days and includes a visit to several of the most important parks, protected areas, and local communities. Travelers may have the option to participate in conservation efforts and activities which are facilitated by experts and researchers.

The Chimpanzee Habituation Project in Kabile and the Lion Tracking Project in the Queen Elizabeth National Park are some of the most popular activities included in this trip.

3.       The Uganda Great Apes & Wildlife Conservation Safari

This trip lasts for seven days and is exclusively available through the website of the ACF. Activities include the Kazinga Channel boat cruise, chimpanzee tracking in the Kyambura Gorge or Karinju Forest, mountain gorilla trekking in the Bwindi National Park, game drive along the Kasenyi Trail, and the Maramagambo Forest walk.

From experiencing these trips, you will truly gain insight into the issues confronting Africa’s wildlife.
