Safari holidays are the ultimate adventure getaway for wildlife enthusiasts and tourists around the world.

Africa is by far one of the best locations to head to for any holiday of the kind, with an abundance of locations to choose from.

While many of the traditional hotspots such as Kenya and South Africa are too crowded, the tiny nation of Uganda regularly flies under the radar.

Most safari trips in the country offer a wide selection of trips in many of their national parks.

Options range from a three-day safari with pick-up and drop-off at your hotel, to a fully organized 10-day trip including flights from your home country.

Although much of the wildlife had been affected by the controversial Amin and Obote regimes, restoration has occurred in most of the national parks with the greenery and its wildlife looking back to normal.

Infrastructure is also relatively good, with a range of accommodation in most parks to suit all travelers and tourists.

Game drives can be taken at any time of the day, though many swear by early morning drives, setting off before sunrise. Night drives are also popular.

If you’re on an organized trip with a tour operator, your package will normally include game drives, either with your driver or with a park ranger.

All parks have modest entrance fees ranging from $20 to $30 per person per day, depending on the park.

Children aged under 15 years are half-price and kids under five years-old are free.
