Uganda, like most countries in Africa, has had a dark history, but is coming into the light now that the travel and tourism industry is booming. Uganda is able to offer such a diverse selection of activities because it has some of the most astounding landscapes.

The Jungle Book. Some of the most popular adventure travel programs in Uganda happen to be in the heart of the jungle. Trekking through the jungles on safaris and trying to photograph the notorious mountain gorilla should be the next thing crossed off your bucket list. While some of you adventure travelers love going out by yourself and seeing how wonderfully lost you can get it (within reason) others prefer a little more structure and guidance which is a perfect fit for our nature tours.

Let it Rain, Let it Pour. Uganda experiences the wet season for only a quarter of the year, but these water activities never seem to suffer (in popularity at least). If you want to earn your water wings, try out deep-sea fishing. The river kayaking program is great for anyone who wants to see the interior of Uganda on one of the quickest modes of transportation. River rafting down the Nile headwaters, anyone?

Cool Down. Adventure travel can mean something entirely different for you than it does for your best friend. Well fear not because there is something for every type of personality. If practicing yoga listening to the sounds of the rainforest seem more your style, all I can say is “Namaste.”
