“A country surrounded by lakes & water reservoirs all around is nothing but nature’s makeshift paradise.”

In almost all the mentions of an African or Ugandan safari, most of the holidaymakers only dream about visiting a dry & dusted safari park with woodlands so dry & with brown savannah grasslands. But how many of them tried to do something different like going for boat cruises on East African lakes. A country such as Uganda is tactically located in the great lakes basin & around the tropical equatorial region of Africa & crossed by the rift valley escarpment. Do you know what it actually means? It is a signal that all the Uganda Destinations are surrounded by water.     

The Uganda Tourist Sites sponsored by East African Jungle Safaris shows a very different picture of the world famous lakes of Uganda, as follows:-        

Lake Victoria

1.    This lake is known for providing the best boat trips in Uganda for various forms of leisurely & relaxation activities. It can be anything, a lake transfer or just a ride to the center of the lake or just a nice cruise ride.  

2.    Besides that, you can also indulge in fishing excursions in the lake by hiring a small boat and catching small to medium sizes fishes from the lake to bake them for lunch.

3.    It is not the end here, either on the banks of the lake or on the boat cruise itself you can observe the vast lake for catching some magnificent bird views such as Grey Parrot, kingfishers and Fish Eagles. Sometimes such cruise rides in Lake Victoria can also take people to Ssese islands
