Arranging a Christmas holiday in Uganda is not something you will have planned last minute because being a high season accommodation facilities fill up, major adventures are always full booked so it’s good to at least book in advance to avoid missing out your favorite.

My Favourite day of the year was the day we tracked Gorillas in the Bwindi jungle forest on Christmas day as others were busy singing with Father Christmas, we were entertained by the silver back Gorilla in the forest as it accepted to spend some good time with us on such a special day.

But ultimately the best part of the holiday season in Uganda is that you’re in Uganda the same pearl of Africa year round where you can see the Big Five, view several primates, track mountain gorillas and also relax on a beach chair at Ssesse Island with sand & fishing as a gift . It’s sun, fun and smiles for everyone. Come witness Christmas in style in the most hospitable country in Africa.
