Wildlife in Murchison falls national park have been straying out of the national park into the neighboring districts especially to Amuru district. These animals have been causing havoc and some people have lost their lives.
However, Amuru district officials have now signed a memorandum of understanding with the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) and the Uganda Wildlife Safari to hire professional hunters to help in the possible capture of these stray animals.
According to Anthony Atube, the chairman of Amuru district, the professional hunters will help in getting rid of the wild animals in the areas of Achwa and Lolim which are found close to the areas of Murchison falls national park.
Murchison falls national park is one of the the largest national parks in Uganda and attracts lots of tourists annually. With a high diversity of plant and wildlife species coupled with the magestic Murchison falls, it is no wonder the park attracts lots of travelers to Uganda.
However recently, the residents of the villages of Alero, Purongo, Anaka and Koch-Goma have been experiencing damages to their crops and livestock from the marauding wildlife.
Uganda has a couple of travel packages and tourist attractions ranging from gorilla tour to adventure sporting activities like white water rafting and kayaking along the River Nile. If you want to information on how to book a gorilla trekking permit you can follow the link or click here
