Kasese District
Kasese District: Mostly agricultural, with 21 subcounties, 130 parishes, and over 753 communities, Kasese town is the location of the district headquarters and is situated in Western Uganda. What a district! Additionally, more than six tribes have made their home in these districts; among them are the Bakonzo, Basongora, Banyabindi, Bakingwe, Bagabo, and Banyagwaki. Although Kampala and Kasese are more than 278 kilometers apart, the route between them is 368.km. 
However, before you grumble about the distance, you should know that it is worth every kilometer. How? Let us briefly discuss that. Although Kasese has many stunning sites, I will only list the top five, which are Kilembe Mines, Kibake National Park, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Mountain Rwenzori, and Rwenzori National Park.
Kibale National Park. This area, which is roughly 50 kilometers from Kasese town, is regarded as one of the most beautiful in Uganda. Its terrain includes a moist evergreen forest, but it also features sweeping savannas, tropical forests, and woodlands on the floor of the rift valley. Furthermore, terrestrial species such African buffaloes, gigantic fores hogs, common warthogs, bush bucks, bush pigs, and red and blue duikers can be found in this park.
Trekking with chimpanzees in Kibale Mountain Rwenzori’s Kasese District. Mount Stanley is the tallest summit of this mountain, which is situated on the border between Uganda and the Congo. Because of its snow-capped whiteness, it is also known as the mountain of the moon. Its distinction stems from the fact that it is Africa’s highest block mountain. Come explore the area’s many natural features and engage in outdoor pursuits like hiking and mountain climbing. The mountain’s surroundings are cold, and the Kasese District is a wonderful place to escape the Kampala sun.
Rwenzori National Park . This national park, which spans over 1000 km2, is situated in Bundibugyo, Kasese, it is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site. This park is home to the third-highest mountain peak in Africa, as well as several waterfalls, glaciers, and lush vegetation. Numerous wildlife species can be found in this park, including 18 mammal species, 6 amphibian species, 217 bird species, and 9 reptile species. Discover creatures such as red-tailed monkeys, chimpanzees, Columbus monkeys, bush bucks, and many more. Additionally, you can engage in cultural activities such as touring nearby Bakonjo villages on the mountain slopes and learning about the ways of life of the locals who have lived there for many years.
Queen Elizabeth National Park. Don’t you think that Bundibugyo is also home to Uganda’s largest national park? Visit the area in January or February; it’s in southwest Uganda and offers bird viewing, game drives, boat tours, and more. What’s special is the variety of wildlife there, which is wonderful! This type of fauna can only be found here since the park’s environment is naturally supplied with picturesque undulating hills and a view of the nearby mountains.
Kilembe mines in Kasese District, Queen Elizabeth Wildlife Safari. With deposits of an unknown quantity of cobalt ore and an estimated 4,000,000 tonnes of surplus copper, this is Uganda’s largest copper mine. However, because the Ugandans in charge of the mines lacked the necessary skills, the mine collapsed in 1982, making copper mining in this area less profitable and deterring investors. Despite this, the site is still a fantastic historical landmark, making it a fantastic tourist destination. Come on!
