For a unique experience of watching Savannah wildlife from the comfort of a houseboat, Uganda is a great place to go on a water safari. A boat safari is one of the best ways to get close to wildlife that comes to the water bodies to drink.
Uganda boat safaris offer a better experience of seeing animals along the riverbanks and lake shores compared to regular safaris, which are done on foot or in a 4×4 vehicle.
From a boat, tourists can observe wildlife without the difficulty of searching for animals on land.
In Uganda, a boat trip is also one of the best ways to see wildlife. It is a calm and comfortable experience compared to riding in a safari truck. Instead of dealing with dust, visitors can enjoy the cool breeze from the water.
Boats also have restrooms, so there is no need to look for a private spot in the bush.
Uganda offers great opportunities for wildlife lovers to see animals from a boat. With only a few other boats in the distance, the covered pontoon moves silently across the water while visitors enjoy their favorite drink during a two to three-hour boat cruise.
Some of the best animal sightings happen when there are no large crowds.
While a hippo stands nearby, eating tall grass, the boat safari moves close to a crocodile resting on the riverbank. The boat gets so close that visitors can see the scales on its shiny, patterned skin. The scene is beautiful.
