Our co-founder, Nick explored Uganda as a student with nothing but a backpack and an open mind. His experiences then ignited a passion that would one day become his career. While plenty has changed since then, the mix of landscapes, from volcanic mountains and lush rainforests to open savanna plains and tranquil lakes are as captivating as ever. Known for its exceptional primate encounters like gorilla trekking in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and chimpanzee trekking in Kibale National Park, Uganda promises an adventure that’s both challenging and rewarding. Beyond primates, the country offers abundant water-based activities along the Kazinga Channel and rich wildlife experiences in the Queen Elizabeth National Park. While best suited to adventurous travelers, Uganda’s growing collection of eco-lodges makes it an ideal time to discover this remarkable and largely untouched destination.
