Want To Try Something New?
Sometimes, it’s great to give ourselves a new challenge…
Trek, walk, climb, abseil, raft, cycle.
Through mountains, rainforests, the Nile, open savannah, waterfalls and winding roads.
Among Mountain Gorillas, Chimps, tribes, birds, hippos, elephants, crocs, giraffes and lions.
Looking for your next great adventure? It starts here. Below is some food for thought to get you excited. You can go for pure adventure or mix it up a little with safari, cultural and community activities. We will help you design the perfect trip for you.
White Water Adventure
Ride the Nile rapids with fully certified and trained experts with a passion and knowledge of white water. You will share the guides’ love of the river, their craft and their playground - the mighty White Nile. Grade 3 and 5 rafting are available along with riverboarding and tandem kayaking. Just pick your adventure!
Climb Mount Rwenzori
Would you like to conquer Africa’s third highest mountain and attempt Mount Stanley’s Margherita Peak? Or maybe soak up the scenery en route to Weismann’s Peak? Trek deep into the Mountains of the Moon in Western Uganda and create your own incredible memories.
Abseil Sipi Falls
There’s me (Sharon), enjoying this adventure first hand - what can I say other than AWESOME. Stepping out backwards, bouncing down the rock face, then hanging freely with the most phenomenal view, the thunder of the falls, all by myself. The feeling of total freedom and being suspended up high, in raw nature. Simply Unforgettable.
Chimp Tracking in Kibale
Uganda offers primates aplenty with chimpanzees providing perhaps the most human and characterful behaviours of all. They leap, they bound, they sit, groom and observe, and they hoot, scream, grunt and drum; totally fascinating to watch. Trek the forests of Uganda in search of them and take away your own unique story.
In Search of the Mountain Gorilla
This is a simply magical experience. Humbling, life-changing, awe-inspiring and unique, this adventure will stay with you in mind, heart and soul for all your days. Uganda is making great strides with Mountain Gorilla conservation and the population is now approaching 800 gorillas thanks to the work being done. You can opt if you like for a gorilla habituation experience where you meet the gorillas being prepared for human exposure. What an opportunity.
Rainforest Hike -
Bwindi Impenetrable
Forests are fascinating. The tangled jungle that is Bwindi Impenetrable is pure magic. Primates abound, birdlife galore, the tallest trees imaginable from giant figs to ancient mahoganies, this is the forest of Attenborough’s dreams, in real life. Hike from north to south or south to north and discover its gems.
Sporting Challenges
If long distance running, road-biking or swimming are your thing, Uganda offers a number of fantastic events throughout the year from the Uganda Marathon, half marathon and 10k run to the Kyaninga Triathlon, Duathlon or 5k run. Alternatively why not climb Mount Rwenzori or Mount Elgon for charity or to achieve a new personal goal? Combine your sporting challenge with a safari and take home memories of a lifetime.
