In order to save the world's beautiful river and the wonderful natural wildlife, birds which are the main tourist attraction responsible for many Uganda safaris today, government and all other tourism stake holders should take the responsibility to move to the nearby local communities staying in the areas next to River Nile to sensitize them about the benefit of conserving this natural feature.

If Uganda is ready to increase on number of safaris to Uganda and also maintain the name pearl of Africa as well as being number one destination, the government, private tourism stake holders, conservation non-governmental organizations should cooperate and protect the natural wonders such as River Nile and other water bodies, wetlands, forests, swamps, because these resources are irreplaceable once destroyed they cannot be regained. The only appropriate way to protect these resources is by involving local communities near the natural resources through community participation in different beneficial projects, and sensitizing them about the positive and negative importance of protecting natural resources around their areas.
Despite of the fact that River Nile is threaten by human activities, the river remains the best places in Uganda where tourists planning for a safari to Uganda can spend and experience adventurous activities in the pearl of Africa Uganda. Participating in the launch trips in Murchison falls which also offer views of birdlife wildlife, boat cruising in the river Niles in Jinja, bungee jumping, boat ridings and viewing the magnificent water falls in the different parts of the Nile River in water is memorable experience which no visitor on Uganda safaris and tours should miss.
