Kidepo has 80 mammal species, 28 of which are found in no other park in Uganda. © Richard Roberts apoka lodge - Kidepo Valley - Located in the heart of Kidepo Valley, Apoka is a small lodge, with 10 semi- tented rooms, surrounding a rocky kopje with endless views across the golden savannah. The rooms offer comfort beyond expectations, with private verandas, looking out over the © Richard Roberts vast plains, dotted with wildlife. The lodge has a beautiful rock swimming pool. Guests can walk with experienced guides along the sandy river bed, as well as enjoy exciting game drives, and visit the Karamajong cultural village. © Richard Roberts scenic flight - Granite Inselbergs - murchison falls - White Nile - The Murchison Falls National Park is Uganda’s largest conservation area, through which flows the River Nile from its source at Lake Victoria to Lake Albert. These incredible Falls are in the heart of the Park - where the Nile is channeled through a narrow gorge, creating one of the world’s most powerful flows of natural water. bakers lodge - Murchison Falls - Bakers Lodge is set on the southern bank of the Nile, amongst shady trees and adjacent to a wetland area where the birdlife is abundant. The thatched living areas are raised on wooden decks with an outstanding 180 degree view of the river. Its 6 luxury and spacious ensuite cottages are also elevated to give the best views. Named after the British explorer Samuel Baker, famous for his explorations in the late 1800’s, Bakers Lodge is the perfect destination to make the most of Murchison’s natural treasures. boat cruise - Murchison Falls - lake albert - Uganda Congo border - The shimmering waters of Lake Albert, a fresh water lake lying between two parallel escarpments, supports thousands of people that depend on commercial fishing activities. Small fishing boats dock for the night, and nets are untangled, repaired and laid out for the morning. western uganda - Fort Portal - Over 85% of Ugandans live in rural areas, and depend on subsistence agriculture - the rich soils and favourable climate mean that small scale farms are very productive. © Tom Parker ndali lodge - Fort Portal - Ndali Lodge near Fort Portal in western Uganda is the perfect base to explore the beautiful snow-covered mountain peaks of the Rwenzori Mountains. The Lodge is perched on the rim of an extinct volcano, in which lies the breath-taking Lake Nyinambuga. Ndali is a family run business, with 8 ensuite cottages. From Ndali one can trek in Kibale forest in search of chimpanzees. There are also many lovely walks around Ndali estate, and the neighbouring vanilla plantation. kibale forest - National Park - With lush tropical rainforest and a fascinating diversity of animals, Kibale National Park is one of the most beautiful and stunning forests in Uganda, with Africa’s highest diversity and density of primates. chimpanzees - Kibale Forest - The forests, hills and valleys of Kibale National Park are home to a highly protected population of Chimps (over 1,450 individuals). These tropical rainforests have the highest diversity and density of primates in Africa. Red tailed monkeys, colobus monkeys and olive baboons also thrive here, and the bird life is prolific. rwenzori mountains - Uganda Congo border - Known as the ‘Mountains of the Moon’ - not only are the Rwenzori’s permanently snow capped, but the largest glaciers in Africa are found here. © Richard Roberts queen elizabeth - scenic flight - In western Uganda, in the shadow of the Rwenzori mountains, lies the magnificent Queen Elizabeth National Park, set between Lake Edward and Lake George. Characterised by a mosaic of habitats - open savannah, papyrus wetlands, lowland forest and green meadows, Queen Elizabeth is home to a diverse array of wildlife species. There are only 2 populations of lion in the world that climb trees, one of which live in the Ishasha plains in the south of the park, the other at Lake Manyara in Tanzania. © John Moller kazinga channel - Queen Elizabeth National Park - The 32km Kazinga Channel, that links Lake Edward and Lake George, is one of Queen Elizabeth National Park’s greatest attractions. It is a magnet for wildlife - elephant, buffalo, Nile © Richard Roberts crocodile, and one of the world’s largest concentrations of hippos. Birdlife is thrilling, and particularly unique are the shoebill stork, African Skimmer, Papyrus Gonolek and Black bee-eater. boat cruise - Kazinga Channel - lake katwa - salt gardens - Inside Queen Elizabeth National Park lies Lake Katwe - a crater lake which several streams drain into, but without an outlet, and intense evaporation has resulted in the water having a 60% salinity. Salt mining here dates back to the 13th century, and remains the main source of income among the inhabitants. - Mountain Chain of - virunga The Virunga Mountains are a chain of 8 volcanoes running along the borders of Congo, Rwanda and Uganda, 7 of which are found in the Virunga National Park and only two are active – Mount Nyamuragira and Mount Nyiragongo. © Richard Roberts bwindi impenetrable - National Park - Within the remote Kigezi highlands of south western Uganda, deep in the Virunga mountain range is the primeval forest of Bwindi - a region of tremendous beauty, best known for its endangered Mountain Gorilla. This is a pristine habitat rich in biodiversity, and unique in that it has both lowland and montane forest, with diverse species of trees, ferns, butterflies and birds. Steep hills and narrow valleys, along with the dense vegetation, means that Bwindi Impenetrable forest - as its name suggests - is only accessible by foot. © Richard Roberts clouds - Mountain Gorilla Lodge - ‘Clouds’ is located in the southern corner of Bwindi National Park, with the gorilla walking trails starting at the lodge. Surrounded by rich vegetation and botanical gardens, the 10 spacious and cosy cottages overlook the Virunga volcanoes. ‘Clouds’ is a community tourism venture, dedicated to protecting the forest habitat. Partners in the lodge are the Nkuringo community, who are actively engaged in forest conservation, and directly benefit from gorilla tourism. mountain gorilla - Bwindi Impenetrable Forest - The last remaining habitat of the Mountain Gorilla is within the Virunga Mountains. This highly endangered charismatic animal is the flagship species that has enthused the conservation of the entire array of wildlife and habitat that make up this unique part of our planet. gorilla trekking - Bwindi Impenetrable Forest - Half the world’s population of Mountain Gorilla are resident in Bwindi - the 340 individuals are constantly monitored for their protection. In the company of experienced guides, we will have the privileged opportunity to trek in search of the ‘Nkuringo’ and ‘Habinyanja’ groups – both which have 19 and 15 gorillas respectively and 2 silverbacks each. lake mutanda - Virunga Mountain Range - The Virunga Mountains are a chain of eight major volcanoes on the border of Uganda, Rwanda, and Congo. The third highest of the range is Mount Muhavura which stands over 4000 meters tall, and although it is the youngest of 8 volcanoes, it lies dormant. An afternoon flight will take us over this dramatic landscape, dominated by cone shaped volcanoes - carpeted green, with intriguing volcanic crater lakes. lake mburo - National Park - The smallest of Uganda’s savannah national parks, Lake Mburo National Park harbors several wildlife species not found anywhere else in Uganda, including Impala (from which Kampala city derives its name), Eland, and only one of the three protected areas countrywide where Burchell’s zebra occurs. It also leopard, hippo and buffalo, and has over 310 species of birds. The combination of woodland, savannah, rock-kopjes, wetlands and the lake, provides a diverse habitat for an array of life, and never disappoints when visiting. mihingo lodge - Lake Mburo - Set atop a small hilly rock, Mihingo lodge commands a stunning expansive view of the Lake Mburo National Park. The 10 en-suite thatched cottages are built on wooden platforms with stunning views.

    MGNP General Management Plan 2014-2024 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) prepared this General Management Plan with total funding from Uganda Wildlife Authority. Consultations were held with all relevant stakeholders both at Resource use level, Subcounty level, District level and at National Level. Furthermore an analysis of stakeholders was done which gave guidance on the consultations made. Uganda Wildlife Authority highly acknowledges the Local Communities and the entire Kisoro district leadership, who contributed to the proposals during the Planning process. Prepared by: Uganda Wildlife Authority Input from: BMCA field staff, Senior UWA staff and stakeholders Guidance from: Uganda Wildlife Authority Top Management staff Drafted by: The Planning team Edited by: Edgar Buhanga and Richard Kapere as a secretariat of the planning team i MGNP General Management Plan 2014-2024 FOREWORD Mgahinga Gorilla National Park (33.7 km2) is contiguous with Parc National des Virunga (240 km2) in the DRC, and Parc National des Volcans (160 km2) in Rwanda, all forming the proposed transbound- ary PA known as the Virunga Conservation Area covering an area of 434 km2. The park includes three of the Virunga volcanoes - Mt Muhabura (4,127 m), Mt Gahinga (3,474 m) from which the park derives its name, and Mt Sabinyo (3,645 m). This park forms part of the home of the world’s Moun- tain Gorilla population and the Golden Monkey species. This document presents a ten-year management plan for Mgahinga Gorilla National Park (MGNP). Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) is committed to the continued sustainable management of the Park ecosystem. This can only be achieved through proper long term planning which government has already identified and provided for in the Uganda Wildlife Act (Cap 200).

Physical, chemical and biological factors of the water quality characteristics were collected and analysed. Objective The major objective for the study of minor lakes of Kisoro was to generate information required in formulation of development and management policies for enhancing increased and sustainable fish production. Specific objective To establish conditions that can promote increased and sustainable fish production. Methodology Using portable instruments, physical parameters (temperature, oxygen, PH, Conductivity were measured at different depths from surface to bottom of the water column from the water surface to the bottom. Water samples were collected using a verdom sampler at depth of 1m from the surface down to the bottom were for shallow lakes and 4m or above 30m were taken for deeper lakes.

  • Fish Statstics Report 1956
    PART III - FISHERIES 189. A brief general account of the year's progress in fisheries has been given in the foreword to this report, whilst detailed accounts of departmental activities in the Lake Albert and George/Edward regions and in fish farming have been prepared by the officers responsible, and follow in later pages. The report for Lake Kyoga is based on infonnation and statistics supplied by the Fisheries Assistant in charge of the area. SECTION I.-ADMINISTRATION Staff 190. Fisheries Officers.-Lists of the fisheries staff, showing their stations and areas of responsibility, are given in the appendices to this report. There were no changes of senior personnel during the year and the fact that all stations have had the same staff for several years has led to continuity of development and a feeling of confidence in the Department and its schemes amongst the fishermen. 191. Two additional posts of Fisheries Development Officers ~ere created and filled by Africans, one by the Engineering Assistant on promotion and the other by the appointment of a Makerere College science trainee. One of the officers was put on fish farming extension work and the other on general development duties. It is encouraging to. the older members of the Department that educated Africans with a genuine interest in fisheries work are now coming forward for these and other senior posts. 192. Fisheries Assistants and Fish Guards.-Additional posts of one Fisheries Assistant and two ltF'ish Guarcfg... were created to provide for increased developments in fish fanning. The establishment was thus brought up to five Fisheries Assistants and sixty Fish Guards.
