Following the recently calmed attacks which took place in western Uganda early this month, the government of the Uganda has come out and assured the tourists that the country is safer than ever. This statement was made by the president on a press conference which was held on Friday last week. It is believed that after the incidence which took place in Rwenzori area that led to loss of lives, some tourists had started to fear visiting this East African country due to the uncertainties but the government has come out and assured them maximum safety.

Uganda is well known for its hard-to find tourism fraternities that keep on attraction people from all corners of the world. A safari to Uganda is a lifetime experience to most visitors as they get amazed with what they find here. Also termed as “the pearl of Africa”, Uganda is one of the leading tourism destinations on the continent and this is why it hosts very many visitors annually.

Commonly known for harboring the rare mountain gorillas, the country is a wonderful destination for trackers who go straight and view the great apes in their natural habitats. You may wonder what makes Uganda more unique compared to other countries including those with the mountain gorillas but the adventurous experience a visitor enjoys while on a Uganda safari is the hidden secret.

While in the country, a visitor can enjoy a wide range of thrilling activities like game drives, bird watching, chimpanzee tracking, cultural walks, hiking, whitewater rafting, nature walks and many more. These activities have greatly attracted tourists from all over the world who come ready to enjoy them. Most of these activities gorilla tracking inclusive are done from western Uganda where the attacks took place from. This posed a great threat to the tourism industry that visitors could be discouraged from visiting the region in fear for their lives and the government would be affected economically. All the operators and the Uganda Wildlife Authority were worried that the attacks could affect their businesses as visitors are scared away but good enough the condition was brought to normal by the security forces in the country.

It was then declared that Uganda is currently safe for the tourists and they are free to travel to any destination in the country without any fear. Security especially around the national parks and other attractions has been boosted and people can now access them freely.
