Game Drive in Uganda! What is expected to experience on a fabulous game drive in Africa?
Okay, so today I woke up and really wanted to bring out more of my experience in a number of game drives I have handled in Uganda. So briefly a game drive in Uganda is never a thing that you will ever believe at First Sight. It’s like a New World that is pretty far away from Home.
Yes indeed, it’s far, but always Worth it; Uganda, firstly, is unexplored with lots of unexplored environment and Nature. With Conservation, we preserve what we call ours. “I Love Uganda, Its Wildlife and Its People, as well as not forgetting to Love Its Tourists”
The Game Drive Experience:
You could have heard of this unfortunate occasion, it could be a dialogue with someone, you could have read it on the internet, and also you would really love to know what it’s all about.
Let me take you through it just with a number of paragraphs. In my own view, a game drive is an activity that takes place in the game park where you get to move all around the park on a 4×4 Safari Vehicle (Jeep) with a pop-up viewing of animals.
“I would basically summarise it as a VIEW and CAPTURE activity.
Morning Game Drive and Evening Game Drive
There are early morning game drives where you actually get to see the beautiful SUNRISE, and also evening – night game drives where nature serves more beauty of the SUNSET.
During this process, you get the chance of coming metres close to the animals on a free-lance movement while in the park. On your slow-moving vehicle, you will stretch your eyes as far as they can see.
And guess what?! An evergreen environment, beautiful animals, and singing birds are all you will see.
In preparation for a Game drive, depending on the schedule in the itinerary, these are a few things you will need to create space for in your small bag.
>A pair of Binoculars;
Like I said, we shall find animals on a freelancing movement, you may need to see an animal from a distance, for example, the tree-climbing lions. You will surely need the binoculars so as to observe each and every detail of it.
>A camera;
Even if it were me, visiting a place I have never visited before or even those I have visited sometimes, I would love to capture the moments, and that basically means a camera is important. You will take endless shots of your favourite animal. Is it an elephant? Giraffe? Actually, you’ll capture everything, and people back at home will love the details you captured.
Let me tell you about my first experience in the Game drive.
Before we got there!!! My mind was on a trail of thoughts! I was all asking myself, what is this going to look like?? Will I see animals close to me? Like, how many will I see???
Now this is what I am telling you!
I first experienced this at Murchison Falls National Park. After checking in at the Park Gates, we first drove through the Budongo forests so as to get to the other side of the park. And so we did and got there.
On the other side of the Park, “Northern Side”, after crossing the Ferry, it’s where the plain lands, grasslands, and woodlands are, and this is where most of the animals inhabit. I opened my eyes to a very endless green environment, and I stretched my eyes to where I couldn’t see clearly.
Birds singing endlessly, inspecting and skies and landing back on trees, my eyes had opened to a very new thing, and the case was the same for our visitors. The weather was all fine, some animals were resting, others grazing, and others were moving to maybe far places.
We could stop the car anytime so as to clearly watch an animal and also take a few shots of it, and then move forward. The Sunset got us here, and as it got dark, we were already out for that day.
When morning came, ushering in the morning game drive, I actually thought we would find some animals sleeping! But guess what, we found them all bound in groups and grazing, the Sunrise got us here.
Actually, I thought we had seen all the animals the previous evening, but I was wrong. When the morning opened up for us, it looked like I had not seen anything! The fun was just kick-starting.
Now, imagine yourself in a 4WD vehicle, the pop-up roof is already up, your camera and binoculars with you!!! Everywhere you look, it’s all beautiful.
How I can’t wait to take you through this unforgettable Game drive in Uganda experience.
