Uganda Kobs.. an amazing wild animal

The kob resembles the impala but is more robust. However, males are more robust than females and have horns.[4] Males have shoulder heights of 90–100 cm (3.0–3.3 ft) and an average weight of 94 kg (210 lb). Females have shoulder heights of 82–92 cm (2.69–3.02 ft) and weigh on average 63 kg (140 lb). The pelage of the kob is typically golden to reddish-brown overall, but with the throat patch, eye ring, and inner ear being white, and the forelegs being black at the front. Males get darker as they get older. Those of the white-eared kob (K. k. leucotis), which is found in the Sudd region (the easternmost part of their range), are strikingly different and overall dark, rather similar to the male Nile lechwe, though with a white throat and no pale patch from the nape to the shoulder. Both sexes have well-developed inguinal glands that secrete a yellow, waxy substance, as well as preorbital glands.http://www.freelynugandas

Ugandas Friendliest Country...

Uganda's reputation as "Africa's Friendliest Country" stems partly from the tradition of hospitality common to its culturally diverse populace, and partly from the remarkably low level of crime and hassle directed at tourists.

But this amiable quality extends beyond the easygoing people.
Uganda's eco-friendliness is attested to by the creation of six new national parks under thepresent administration, as well as a recent mushrooming of community based eco-tourism at the grassroots level while the the mood of social enlightment is characterised by the progressive and much lauded policies towards curbing the the spread of H.i.v/AIDS and promoting womens rights.  The climate, too is highly agreeable, reflecting the combination of an equatorial location and medium to high altitudes, while emenities such as hotels and Game lodges with the best Africa has to offer...

Great Attractions


Uganda is home to half of the Mountain Gorillas found in Africa.  The gorillas you see in zoos around the world are not Mountain Gorillas, Mountain Gorillas can only be seen in wild of Uganda, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo.  Out of the three countries Uganda is your best choice – safe and secure while nearby Democratic Republic of Congo has seen the M23 Guerilla Group taking over the lucrative Gorilla Permit and tracking, certainly not safe with a war going on.  Rwanda since June of 2012 is charging 750 USD for one gorilla permit  while Uganda remains at 500 USD for a permit and in April and May 2013 as part of the 50th Golden Jubilee Independence Celebration Uganda Wildlife Authority has lowered the price on Gorilla permits to 350 usd certainly an added incentive to track and visit Gorillas in Uganda.  Lastly in Uganda you can add many other activities such Chimpanzee Tracking.Enjoy visiting the Mountain Gorillas of Uganda and Enjoy the Pear of Africa – Uganda
