The Uganda Wildlife Authority has called upon firms that are interested in developing and managing balloon tourism in the Lake Mburo National Park. The National Park occupies 260 sq km and is positioned in the Southeast part of Uganda, along the main road between Masaka and Mbarara. It has both animal life and natural lakes. It is famed for both a huge number of animals including hippos, crocodile, antelopes, abundant bird species and, unusual fauna and flora. Balloon tourism will be relatively new in Uganda being that it already exists in both Kenya and Tanzania. This activity will represent an innovation on the part of UWA to bring in more tourists to the country’s underexploited natural resources.
