Actividad en Uganda
Safari nocturno
Adéntrate en la sabana al caer la noche con potentes focos para descubrir a los escurridizos depredadores nocturnos mientras cazan.
- ¿Qué ocurre?
Sales justo al caer el crepúsculo, acompañado por un guardabosques armado de la Autoridad de Vida Silvestre de Uganda. Tu guía recorre los silenciosos senderos utilizando linternas de mano para captar el característico brillo de los ojos de los animales ocultos. Te detienes para observar a los leopardos acechando a sus presas, a los leones activos en el aire más fresco y a especies nocturnas más pequeñas, como los galagos, los chotacabras y las ginetas, que desaparecen por completo durante el día.
- Cómo se siente
Las llanuras que tanto te resultan familiares durante el día parecen transformarse por completo con la oscuridad y el misterio. Tus sentidos se agudizan mientras escuchas el intenso coro de grillos, ranas y las risas lejanas de las hienas. Una emoción recorre el vehículo cuando el haz de luz del foco revela a un gran felino que se mueve en silencio entre la hierba, justo a tu lado.
- A quién va dirigido
Ideal para los amantes de la naturaleza, los asiduos a los safaris y las familias con hijos mayores que buscan una visión exclusiva y espectacular del comportamiento de los depredadores africanos.
- Es bueno saberlo
Las noches en la sabana abierta pueden ser sorprendentemente frías, por lo que es muy recomendable llevar un forro polar grueso o una chaqueta cortavientos. Esta actividad especializada solo está permitida en lugares concretos, como el lago Mburo, las cataratas Murchison y los parques nacionales Queen Elizabeth. Para poder participar, debes alojarte en un lodge situado dentro de los límites del parque.

Dónde hacerlo Safari nocturno en Uganda
Pian Upe Wildlife Reserve
Pian Upe Wildlife Reserve is Uganda's second-largest protected area, a semi-arid stretch of Karamoja savannah covering roughly 2,788 square kilometers between Mount Elgon and Kidepo Valley. It holds Uganda's only confirmed cheetah range and some of the country's last roan antelope, ostrich, and Bright's gazelle populations, in a landscape far drier and more open than the western parks.
Kidepo Valley National Park
Kidepo Valley National Park is Uganda’s most remote and beautiful savanna wilderness, spanning 1,442 square kilometers in the extreme northeastern Karamoja region. Bordering South Sudan and Kenya, the park features a dramatic landscape dominated by the Narus and Kidepo valleys, flanked by the soaring Mount Morungole and rugged mountain ranges. Because it is isolated, it receives a fraction of the tourists found in western Uganda, providing an exclusive, untamed safari atmosphere reminiscent of Africa fifty years ago. The park protects a diverse ecosystem of montane forests and semi-arid savanna grasslands. It is home to 86 mammal species and over 460 bird species, including many found nowhere else in the country.
Queen Elizabeth National Park
Queen Elizabeth National Park is Uganda's most visited savannah park, famous for tree-climbing lions in the Ishasha sector, the Kazinga Channel boat cruise between Lake Edward and Lake George, and chimpanzee tracking in Kyambura Gorge, known locally as the Valley of Apes.
Lake Mburo National Park
If you're used to parks being big, Lake Mburo will change your perspective on a wildlife sanctuary. At just 370 square kilometers (about 1.5 times larger than Kampala capital city in surface area), Uganda’s smallest savannah park has extreme ecological density, with acacia woodland and open grassland surrounding five distinct lakes, the largest of which, Lake Mburo itself, gives the park its name and its boat safaris. The absence of elephants here allows thick acacia forests to thrive, creating a woodland dynamic that feels more like a secluded maze of greenery than an open plains wilderness. Lake Mburo National Park is not just Uganda's smallest savannah park, but it's also the closest one to Kampala, reached in roughly 3.5 to 4 hours by road, which makes it the country's go-to stop for travelers short on time or breaking up the long drive southwest to Bwindi. Because dense acacia woodlands grow unchecked here due to lack of elephants, it creates an ideal, low-competition ecosystem for Uganda’s highest concentration of leopards. The park's 1983 creation under the Obote regime weaponized conservation to evict indigenous Banyankole Bahima pastoralists, triggering a violent 1985 local uprising that completely dismantled the early park infrastructure.
Murchison Falls National Park
Murchison Falls National Park is Uganda's largest and oldest national park, centered on the Nile River as it forces its way through a narrow, 7-meter-wide gorge to form the world's most powerful waterfall: Murchison Falls. The Victoria Nile bisects the park into two distinct ecosystems: the open, game-rich northern savanna and the dense southern tropical woodlands. President Idi Amin temporarily renamed it Kabalega National Park in honor of King Kabalega of the Bunyoro Kingdom before it was reverted to Murchison Falls. While four of the "Big Five" (elephants, lions, leopards, and buffaloes) can be seen in the park, the rhinos are not here and can instead be tracked on foot at the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, south of the park. In addition, the southern edge of Murchison Falls National Park encompasses Budongo Forest, which protects a large community of habituated chimpanzees and extensive mahogany trees.
