UGANDA

“Uganda, the Pearl of Africa! I discovered this country while road tripping. On the motorcycle and in a 4 × 4 I have seen the most amazing, green, lush landscapes. This gem may be in the shadow of big brothers Kenya and Tanzania, but that makes it very pure, undiscovered, and relaxed. And the diversity is enormous! From low plains to mountains, from desert to jungle and lakes … And then the hustle and bustle of Kampala! But wherever you are in Uganda: you will meet fantastic people everywhere.”

– Charlie

ABOUT UGANDA

Uganda has been awarded The Pearl of Africa and for a reason! The country is tropical and green and pleases your eye with its thundering waterfalls, steaming jungles and mirror-smooth lakes. In the south of Uganda you will find rugged mountains, the crater lakes surprise you in the east of the country and a vast desert landscape in the north of Uganda completes the whole experience. Not to forget the bounty islands of swaying palm trees in Lake Victoria or the wild Nile that meanders through the emerald green landscape!

Uganda is also the place to be for the unique wildlife. The Safari Parks are inhabited by animals that cannot be found anywhere else in the world, such as the rare, mysterious mountain gorillas or tree-climbing lions. But this African pearl does not only have a lot to offer in terms of nature. Experience the real Uganda through the eyes of the inhabitants. Cruise through the bustling, creative cities, taste the diverse flavors of the local food, dance to the beats of Ugandan music, and hear inspiring stories. Questions?

GREEN UGANDA

For a month, Charlie and Marieke traveled around Uganda on a motorcycle and in a 4 × 4. The result? A lot of new friendships, super cool new experiences where you will not encounter many other tourists in khaki safari hats, and a hard disk full of footage to dream away. Unfortunately, half of the footage from this trip has been lost due to a broken hard drive (always backup, kids) … So not a complete story, but enough to convince you to book a return trip to this amazing green country! Check it out!

UNIQUE EXPERIENCES

DISCOVER THE KARAMAJONG CULTURE IN MOROTO

This might be the most off-the-beaten-track experience we offer. A dry, rugged, and vast area with a fascinating culture. Stay in the Kraal and discover, through great stories around the campfire, how beautiful other cultures can be.  

CRATER LAKES MOTORTOUR

Once, the Crater Lakes were a wild, volcanic landscape. Now you can motor through the lush jungle and over the hills. Discover crystal clear lakes, rows of banana plants, small farms and thundering waterfalls!

WILDLIFE FROM THE WATER

Watching elephants and rhinos tread the dusty raggedy paths in the Savannah, or a cheetah in hot pursuit of an unrelenting gazelle is always a spectacular sight to behold. This is what Kenya and Tanzania have to offer. However, on the other side of the coin is little Uganda, meekly sitting in the shadows of her big brothers, with a gem to offer. An array of amazing water parks, with the promise of experiencing wildlife from a totally new perspective.  

LAKE TO LAKE TOUR

The magic and majesty of Ugandan lakes are best explored on a wild ride across a series of hills and amazing landscapes. Think about a multi-day motorcycle trip between the two most beautiful lakes on a route that takes you everywhere: from brand new, high mountain passes to small paths along the lakes. During your ride, you will drive through rainforests, a million villages, and a few unforgettable viewpoints!

JINJA

Jinja is the little brother of the capital Kampala and is about a two-hour drive away from the metropolis. Nestled on the banks of the Nile - even where the Nile rises from Lake Victoria - Jinja serves as a base for Kampalans looking to spend a weekend in nature. Jinja is known for its crazy whitewater sports because of the raging rapids on the Nile. But it is also a vibrant town, with many clubs, bars and lively streets and markets.

HOMESTAY SIPI FALLS

Harvesting matoke together, cooking in a traditional kitchen, chatting with the whole family around the dining table and roasting your own coffee. Discover what happens amidst the super green Sipi Falls environment - in the daily life of Moses and his family.
