Uganda launches helicopter Safaris for luxury tourists
Uganda has launched its first luxury helicopter safari to provide for tourists, a new way to experience the country’s natural beauty from the air.
The new service, called ELEVATE, offers scenic flights over national parks, rivers, and forests.
The project is a joint effort by Nile Safari Lodge, Kampala Executive Aviation, and NOVAM Ltd.
It is designed to give visitors a high-end alternative to the usual road and boat safaris that have been popular in Uganda.
Travellers can now fly over Murchison Falls National Park, Lake Victoria, the River Nile, and the misty forests of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, home to mountain gorillas.
The aerial view shows the country’s savannahs, rivers, and forests in a way not possible from the ground.
The move is expected to attract more high-end tourists to Uganda and boost the country’s growing tourism sector.
