Backpacker special offers

You are a backpacker, under 30 years old, and you don’t want to spend as much money on your trip, but you still want to experience Ugandan nature and culture? Maybe you are even searching for something special, something the big tour companies don’t offer, something that brings you in contact with the local population and gives you the chance to see and do what nobody else is seeing and doing?

Then you are right to check on us. We can bring you in contact with local people, show you local secret travel spots and are able to recommend good places to go to on your own.

Here you can find a collection of local natural and cultural offers. If you are interested in visiting a national park and you want to get a better price, please contact us directly. Also, don’t hesitate to contact us about anything else. To contact us or a specific staff member of ours please go to our contact page!
