Hemingway and his wife were rescued and taken to where their rescue plane crashed on takeoff. Between September 1972 and October 1973, the flourishing park suffered a setback when the then President imposed a ban on foreign visitors. The national park was also renamed Kabalega Falls after the famous king of Bunyoro who resisted colonization efforts by the ottoman Empire and the British.

In the mid 70s, most of the conservation activi- ties came to a halt prompting unabated poach- ing that rose to unprecedented proportions. The rich park also suffered mass poaching and the wildlife population was largely threatened during the 20 years of insurgency by the re- bel armies which had turned the park as food basket and shooting target with the herds of animals as their subject. However, with the re- turn of peace to the northern region, Wildlife populations have largely recovered. During the popular game drives, a variety of antelopes, elephants, giraffes, buffalos and lions are reg- ularly encountered with increasing frequency.

Getting there Murchison Falls Conservation Area with the adjoining Karuma and Bugungu Wildlife Re- serves can be accessed through different routes by road to reach Paraa Park headquarters. It can also be reached by air using the daily flights from Entebbe International Airport or chartered aircrafts from airfield to airfield, 19km North West of Paraa and south at Bugungu, 13 km from the park headquarters.

34 Vol.1, ISSUE 9 - Apr. 2012 RWENZORI NATIONAL PARK The 120km Rwenzori chain is regarded to Queen Elizabeth be the legendary snow-capped Mountains of National Park the Moon, described by Ptolemy in AD150. Reaching an elevation of 5,109m, it is also Af- rica’s tallest mountain range, exceeded in al- titude only by the free-standing Mount Kenya and Kilimanjaro. The distinctive glacial peaks are visible for miles around, but the slopes above 1,600m are the preserve of hikers, who rate the Rwen- zoris to be the most challenging of all African mountains. A variety of large mammals inhabits the lower slopes, but the Rwenzoris are notable more for their majestic scenery and varied vegetation. The trails lead through rainforest rattling with monkeys and birds, then tall bamboo forest, before emerging on the high-altitude moorland zone, a landscape of bizarre giant lobelias, towered over by black rock and white snow, looking for all the world like the set of a sci- ence fiction film.

Accommodation Hostel and campsite at the trailhead, basic hiking huts along the loop trail. Nearby Kasese is a midrange hotel, several budget lodgings, and a campsite.

Accessibility The Nyakalengija trailhead lies off the Fort Portal road, 22km from Kasese. Transport can be arranged in Kasese.

KIDEPO VALLEY NATOIONAL PARK One of Uganda’s most spectacular parks. It is 1,442 square kilometres and harbours scen- ery unsurpassed in any other park in East Af- rica. ‘It could not be any better’ is a common comment on the scenery by visitors who often promise and do come back to Kidepo.

LAKE MBURO NATIONAL PARK Lying in the one part of Uganda covered in ex- tensive acacia woodland, Mburo has markedly different fauna to other reserves. Lake Mburo is the best place in the country to see the gigantic eland antelope, as well as zebra, topi, impala, and several acacia-asso- ciated birds. The five lakes within the park attract hippos, crocodiles and a variety of waterbirds, while fringing swamps hide secretive papyrus spe- cialists such as the sitatunga antelope and red, black and yellow papyrus gonalek.

Getting there Lake Mburo National Park is found in Mba- rara district, 3.5 hours drive from Kampala on Mbarara Kampala highway. Turn left at 13 km (Akageti) past Lyantonde, which then brings you to Sanga gate. Both junctions have clearly labelled signposts.
