Adventure Tours in Uganda

When you arrive at their village, children shout with joy and greet you with pan-fried grasshoppers, a national delicacy, which elevates you to VIP status. You can’t help but laugh out loud when you read that, let alone let that be your first impression of adventure travel in Uganda. Once deemed as the pearl of Africa by Winston Churchill, Uganda is far beyond words. It’s expansive bushland and abundance of wild animals, to the modernization of the Kampala, makes Uganda a nation with many layers just waiting to be discovered.

An Incredible Masai Mara Experience: Wildlife, Friendships, and Seamless Adventure

April 16, 2025by: Emily Goldstein - United StatesProgram: Group & Student Travel Opportunities | IMA Safaris Africa

My experience on the Masai Mara Safari was nothing short of incredible. From the very beginning, everything ran smoothly. The journey to the reserve was well-organized, and upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by a very kind and professional member of the IMA staff along with our amazing safari guide. Their hospitality and guidance immediately set a positive tone for the trip. The safari itself truly delivered the full experience. From the moment we entered the reserve, it felt like stepping into a whole new world. The vast landscapes, the wildlife sightings, and the peaceful atmosphere made it feel like a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. I felt fully immersed in the safari environment and grateful for the opportunity to witness it all firsthand. Another meaningful part of the experience was the chance to bond with other interns. Sharing this journey with such a great group of people made it even more special. Whether it was during game drives, meals, or relaxing in between excursions, the time spent together created lasting memories and strengthened friendships. Overall, the Masai Mara Safari exceeded my expectations. It combined adventure, connection, and comfort in the best possible way, and I’m so thankful I had the chance to be a part of it.

A Guide to Adventure Travel in Uganda

Best Places to Travel in Uganda

Well for many, Africa is incredibly publicized yet so mysterious; familiar yet unknown. Your experience is what you make it-you just have to go in with eyes wide open and your head on a swivel. 

Kampala. The capital city is home to the 1.5 million people. Once you step foot on Ugandan soil, you’ll realize the landscape consists of rolling hills. It was once surrounded by seven hills, but today only four make the list. As any part of any culture, religion is very important, and one of seven Baha’i Temples in the entire world is located here. These temples focus on building community and the grounds are certainly not to be missed with their sprawling green lawns and various, colorful animal and plant species. 

Jinja. When referring to Jinja, you might as well call it the “Adrenaline Capital of East Africa.” It has established itself as a funky city, one where almost anything goes. The term “pics or it didn’t happen” takes on a new meaning as whitewater rafting and many other blood pumping adventures await you. Part of Jinja’s added charm is that it is the start of the Nile River.
