The FCDO started advising against all non-essential visits to Uganda’s Queen Elizabeth National Park in October after a honeymooning couple from Berkshire and their driver were killed in an attack, which has been blamed on an Islamist extremist group.
Now the Foreign Office has clarified that this non-essential travel advice also applies to the southern sector of nearby Kibale Forest National Park and Kibale Forest Corridor Game Reserve in western Uganda, which are popular with tourists for viewing chimpanzees.
