Why safari here?
It prevents the return to Entebbe from becoming dead transit and adds a park whose ecology and surrounding pastoral land differ sharply from Bwindi.
When to go
Rain changes the wetlands, vegetation, and minor-road experience; access from the main Kampala–Mbarara road keeps the park practical in a wider circuit.
Gateway & getting there
The route reuses the existing Entebbe–Mbarara road to a measured junction, then branches through Nshara Gate to Rwonyo.
Typical visit
An overnight or full-day final park stop before continuing to Entebbe and Kampala.
