Uganda is home to more than 300 species of mammals, including uganda gorillas in Bwindi and Mgahinga National parks, zebras and the gigantic eland antelope, which are prevalent in Lake Mburo National Park. In Murchison Falls National Park, you may catch a glimpse of a hippopotamus, an elephant, a giraffe or Nile crocodile. Kidepo Valley National Park in northeastern Uganda is home to hyenas, cheetahs, lions and jackals.
Birding
More than 60 percent of all African bird species -- approximately 1,000 -- inhabit Uganda. Murchison Falls, Semliki, Bwindi Impenetrable and Queen Elizabeth national parks are the top bird-watching destinations, according to the Uganda Wildlife Authority. Noteworthy species include the African jacana and the African pigmy geese. To increase your chances of seeing a shoe bill, take a boat ride on Lake Albert.
Geologic Attractions
Hiking is the preferred way to experience the snow-capped Rwenzori Mountains, known as the "Mountains of the Moon," where road access is extremely limited. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage site, the highest peak in Rwenzori Mountain National Park is almost 17,000 feet high. Hiking is also the only way to explore Mt. Elgon National Park, which surrounds its namesake dormant volcano and the Sipi Falls. In Semliki National Park, you can visit two hot springs.
