Book for Camping Adventure in Uganda.
There are several ways to adventure in Uganda’s countryside and National parks. One of the adventure tours in Uganda is out door camping and backpacking. Camping is one surely to feel the closer touch to Mother Nature’s gifts of birds, wild animals, insects, butterflies and the vegetation itself.
Often, backpacking tourists look for adventure and fun but disaster may come along the way. If you have decided to take a camping trip to Uganda’s national parks and forest reserves, make sure you have the right camping gear that includes tents, hiking boots, supplies and clothing. It may seem obvious for some of these tips but you often need to be reminded on the importance of having to follow the advice from the professionals.
Getting out and exploring Uganda is one of the greatest things about living in this country. The chaos and bustle of Kampala quickly fades away to lush scenery and slower, relaxed pace of life. For those looking to experience the most on a budget, Uganda’s National Parks offers one of the cheapest and easiest ways to connect with nature. It’s not for the faint of heart, but bush camping can leave you with memories that last a lifetime.
Now understandably, setting up a flimsy nylon tent in a national park full of the world’s greatest predators might seem like a ridiculous idea at best. Yet, there are some basics about bush camping that may soothe your nerves. The first is that you must imagine what a tent looks like for an animal. Like a rock or tree, a tent is simply a structure. And just as elephants don’t go ramming into the sides of rocks and hyenas don’t just walk through trees, it is highly unlikely that an animal will test the structural integrity of your tent.
“If you stay in the tent, you will be fine because Animals are instinctively afraid of fire. From hippos to lions, they know it means destruction and death and will avoid it. Set up your camp during the day and arrange the fire pit so it is ready to go by nightfall. In most parks, UWA guides will come around and light it for you, but of course, you are welcome to create your own.
there is such a focus on safety that we often forget about what you can gain from camping. You sleep under a blanket of stars so bright and clear, you can see the cosmic dust glowing between the galaxies. There is the thrill of watching the sunset over some of the most beautiful landscapes on Earth. And there is the fun of sitting around a campfire (roasting marshmallows!) and sharing stories with UWA rangers about their experiences while living in a national park.
Hearing a lion roar in the distance will give you a true understanding of what it means to be immersed in nature. The other bonus of camping? You get the jump on morning game drives and often get to tour the park alone. This gives you the best opportunity to spot lions, hyenas, leopards and various other wildlife before they seek refuge from the myriad of 4WD vehicles that will head their way. Camping costs will vary by location
The African bush might seem like a harsh and unforgiving place to set up camp, yet most people who try it a few times refuse to stay any other way. It’s a way to connect with some of the most exquisite landscapes on Earth and for nature lovers, it can feel like paradise. With a little bit of caution, and a healthy respect for your surroundings, it can be a safe and inexpensive way to enjoy the experience of a lifetime.
