Uganda Charity Challenges

Once described by Winston Churchill as the "Pearl of Africa", Uganda packs a lot of highlights into a relatively small country. Volcanic mountains, vast lakes and lush valleys, national parks teeming with wildlife, and a leafy, cosmopolitan capital make this a safe and rewarding destination for your next charity challenge.

Raise money for your favourite cause as you hike the dense forests of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, home to half the world's mountain gorilla population; search Kibale Forest for the elusive chimpanzee; or trek through tropical rainforest, alpine valleys and glacial landscapes in the remote Rwenzori Mountains (“Mountains of the Moon”).

Enjoy a game drive in Queen Elizabeth National Park; take a spectacular wildlife cruise down the Nile to the foot of Murchison Falls; or tackle a demanding ascent of Margherita Peak, Africa's third highest mountain.

Our charity challenge experts can create a customised itinerary for your group or can match you with one of our upcoming challenges. Get in touch today and start planning your Ugandan adventure for a cause!

Custom made Uganda charity challenges

A custom made itinerary is the ultimate way to see the world how YOU want. They are created especially for you, giving you complete freedom to choose what you want to see, where you want to go and when you want to do it. If you love our current itineraries but want to customise it privately as a couple, a group of friends, family, club, business or school, you have the freedom to add or remove as many elements as you like to suit the interests of your group. Alternatively, you can start with a blank canvas and create a new and exciting itinerary from scratch! Our well-travelled consultants can give you firsthand suggestions and eliminate any uncertainty with trip planning to ensure you maximise the quality of your experience and get truly off the beaten track. Simply email, phone or visit us to start planning your dream adventure.

Responsible travel in Uganda

 

Animal welfare focus

Our wildlife viewing drives do not travel off the path, ensuring that wildlife are given the required space. We support anti-poaching efforts in partnership with the Uganda Conservation Foundation.

Cultural preservation

We include unique cultural experiences on our itineraries, such as visiting local homes for traditional meals and bark cloth making projects. Our guides have a vast knowledge about native cultures and traditions that they are eager to share with travellers.

Support of local communities

While our office and field staff are local Ugandans, we aim to use locally owned accommodations.
