Uganda makes it on the top 19 destinations list for
2019 by National Geographic Traveler
Dubbed “the cool list 2019”, the list
features the 19 destinations that are believed to make the travel headlines in
the coming year – 2019. Uganda stands out among other African destinations
including Zimbabwe, Eritrea and KwaZulu Natal and the reasons are clear;
Gorilla trekking continues to stand out as a bucket
list adventure for African travelers and there is no better destination than
Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National park. It should be noted that
after Rwanda doubled its Gorilla permit price from $750 to a whopping $1,500 in
2017, Uganda Gorilla Permits remained at $600.
That, coupled with the closure of the Virunga National
Park in Congo due to insecurity, leaves Uganda as the hot spot for mountain
Gorilla trekking in Africa! However, there’s more to explore and adventure in
Uganda considering the country has 10 National Parks, the source of the Nile River
and a host of adrenaline activities in Jinja, diverse cultures and the
friendliest people on the African continent!
