Tthe power to love what you want in life and love it honestly. Take the power to walk in

Hello, Eye Readers!
The summer holidays have arrived and for some, this means a well deserved break
away with the kids until schools start again for the new school year. If you are staying
in Uganda there is plenty to do and see. Why not take the family on a safari to
Queen Elizabeth National Park – “established in 1952, the park is a popular tourist
destination in Uganda and has a developed infrastructure of safari tracks, lodges,
tented camps, and other tourist facilities – Read all about the park in our special
feature on pages 22-30. Aside from the national parks there are a lot of outdoor
activities that one can do as a family within the city limits, like go-karting, swimming,
tennis, horse riding, visiting an adventure park and a lot more. Check out our listings
in the Explore Uganda section of the magazine – whatever you have planned –
simply enjoy!
Travel well, travel safely and enjoy Uganda

COVER: Leopard (Panthera pardus)
A large cat native to Africa, known for its distinctive spotted coat, which
provides camouflage in its natural habitat. Leopards are highly adaptable and
can thrive in various environments, including savannas, forests and mountains.
Leopards are solitary, territorial and primarily nocturnal. They are carnivores
and feed on a wide range of prey from small rodents, hares, pythons and
small antelope. They stalk and pounce their prey and sometimes drag it into
trees to avoid scavengers. This female leopard was sighted in the Kob mating
grounds in the Kasenyi Plains of Queen Elizabeth NP.
