Recently named Lonely Planet’s Best in Travel for 2012 and now National Geographic’s Best Trips 2013, Uganda is finally getting the recognition that it deserves as being a world class tourism destination which still offers you the opportunity to experience the “real Africa”. While visiting the endangered Mountain Gorilla is a highlight and a definite bucket-list adventure, there are numerous other spectacular sides to Uganda that you can’t afford to miss out on.
Uganda is celebrating its Golden Jubilee (50 Years of Independence) and if you’re planning on visiting this jungle destination, you can celebrate too as the Uganda Wildlife Authorities are offering special discounts on the prices of their Gorilla Trekking permits. Instead of paying US$ 500, it will now only cost you US$ 350 for the months of April and May 2013.
There are numerous options for taking advantage of this special with Nomad Adventure Tours as we have tours that depart from Nairobi and Kampala in either a camping or an accommodated option. Choose which date suits you best and contact us soon to make your booking! Travelling from Nairobi also means that you have the opportunity to visit the Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru National Park.
