Uganda and Rwanda await us on an unforgettable, once in a lifetime adventure in the heart of African nature.
Uganda is one of the few places in the world where we can trek to see mountain gorillas in their natural habitat, while the diverse landscapes such as savannas, tropical forests, sparkling waterfalls, and mountain ranges complete the picture of this unique expedition.

Our adventure will include all kinds of new experiences, from planting trees that we can give our very own names, to crossing a tropical forest on a suspended walkway, and visiting authentic local tribes. We invite you to discover these two remarkable African countries together!

ATTRACTIONS AND EXPERIENCES:

  • Sustainability by Terra: Planting a tree (with our name or that of a loved one) at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary will give us the chance to contribute to the conservation of African nature.
    A cruise on the Kazinga Channel and a boat ride on the Nile will bring us closer to hippos, crocodiles, and exotic birds.
  • The power of nature: Murchison Falls impresses with its sheer force, while the Canopy Walk offers an extraordinary view over the jungle, revealing the hidden details of the tropical forest.
  • Iconic parks: The savannas of Queen Elizabeth National Park, the dense forests of Bwindi, and the volcanic landscapes of Volcanoes National Park create a diverse picture of African wilderness.
  • Mythical landscapes: Crater lakes and the Rwenzori Mountains, with their dramatic outlines and mystical aura, provide the perfect setting for contemplation.
  • Tribal communities: A visit to Batwa Forest reveals the traditions and way of life of the pygmies, who will enchant us with authentic stories, dances, and rituals.
  • Kigali, the city of contrasts: Colorful markets, modern boulevards, and the Genocide Memorial Museum offer a complex perspective on the past and present of Rwanda’s capital.
  • Exotic local flavors: Traditional dishes, served in the heart of nature or by local communities, complete the experience with authentic African tastes.
