The Uganda Safari Company - Uganda
The Uganda Safari Company began its conservation efforts in 1992 in the
Semliki Valley Wildlife Reserve – an area that suffered badly from
poachers during Uganda’s troubled years. Husband and wife team Jonathan
and Pamela Wright have worked tirelessly to heal, reintroduce and
preserve the diverse wildlife of this area. A key aspect of the
conservation effort is promoting tourism.
With this in mind, the company established Wildplaces, low-impact, environmentally sensitive lodges were developed to provide further services and to aid continued preservation. A full-service safari company, TUSC, takes visitors on guided trips throughout Uganda. Itineraries are all tailor-made and vary in duration from three days to three weeks. Safari vehicles are specially designed for comfortable wildlife viewing, with plenty of leg room, large viewing hatches and fully trained guides, so that guests can enjoy a superior safari experience. Semliki Safari Lodge is situated in the Toro-Semliki Wildlife Reserve in the heart of the Albertine Rift Valley.
The reserve is bordered by the foothills of the Rwenzori Mountains and Lake Albert. Semliki Wildlife Reserve is the oldest protected area in Uganda. It is unique and gifted with geographic barriers that have formed a natural haven for wildlife. Apoka lodge over looks the Narus river valley in the South-western sector of Kidepo Valley National Park. In the far North-eastern section of Uganda, bordering Sudan to the North, the Napore Mountains to the West, and the Morungole Mountains to the South.
The Kenyan border is just 5 kilometers from the Park’s Eastern boundary. At the crossroads of Kenyan, Sudanese and Ugandan ecosystems, Kidepo provides an amazing wildlife experience in a remote and pristine wilderness. Clouds Mountain Gorilla Lodge is situated in Nkuringo, bordering the South Western Corner of the Bwindi National Park , Situated at 2100M with Panorama Views of the Virunga mountain range and the Great Rift Valley. The Nkuringo Family group of Gorilla’s home range is around 1.5 hours hike from the lodge depending on the movement of the group. Bwindi Forest is rich in Biodiversity with over 26 Endemic Birds in the surrounding area of the lodge and over 560 other bird species.
Bulago Island with almost 10kms of shore line on 500acares, a small paradise away from the hustle of urban life. Surrounded by Lake Victoria its shoreline is made up of rocky outcrops and low cliffs. Around the shore the soil is highly fertile and tree covered. The north-east tip of the island contains a small portion of rainforest. The interior of the island is less fertile and is covered with savannah-like grassland.
