Down in the southwest, six to seven hours from Kampala, this reserve showcases Uganda’s incredible ecological variety, stretching some 764 square miles from savannah plains to volcanic craters, wetlands, and the lush Maramagambo Forest. Its wildlife includes elephants, buffaloes, lions, leopards, hyenas, hippos, and more than 600 bird species.
