Tourism police deployed at various sites – Safari News

Over 700 tourism policemen were deployed to various tourism fraternities in the country last week as a way of boosting security for the visitors. Of lately, there were concerns that visitors may be at risk while in the wild enjoying their safari but this was addressed to the government as expected, it has responded quickly. Today as you read this, visiting any of the sites in Uganda is a lifetime experience guaranteed of security and different nature wonders.

Uganda is one of the leading tourism destinations in Africa and it is estimated to host over 50 visitors on a daily basis. These are attracted by the hard to find natural wonders which are amazing to keep one’s stay stunning. With about 10 national parks, this East African country is a dream place to be on a holiday as one stands a chance of spending the whole day in the wild while looking at the different wild animals. This has been boosted by the increased security which means that when on a safari to any part of the country, a visitor is assured full security. I got a chance of interacting with some visitors on by visit to Bwindi Impenetrable forest and I asked them why some people in different countries don’t want to tour Africa yet a lot of marketing has been affected in their respective countries. The answer I got from one of them was shocking. He told me that some of them thing that there is no peace in Africa and they thing that an African safari is like going to a war zome. Some of them actually think that the people in Africa share homes with the wild animals and that’s why they fear coming thinking that the uncontrolled animals may attack them. I got shocked by their responses and I had to take about half an hour convincing them to believe that Africa especially Uganda is totally different from what their colleagues think. I challenged them to tell me if anyone had been attacked by a mountain gorilla on their 3 days to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and the answer was “no”. I therefore requested them to spread the gospel to others when they get back to their home countries about Uganda’s tourism and the security one gets while in the wild with different mammals.
