November 2024 Experience

Arrive in Uganda and travel to a local 4* hotel, not too far from the airport. Relax after your journey, adjust to the local temperature and get to know your new tribe. Enjoy a good night's sleep ahead of the start of your adventure tomorrow.  

Our first destination is Uganda's biggest national park and home to the world's most powerful waterfall - Murchison Falls. From the moment you enter the park you'll likely be joined by its residents including giraffe's, elephants and monkeys. Then you'll witness the stunning falls and have time to soak up the incredible energy ahead of your safari game drive the next day.

It's an early start as you head off for your early morning game drive at Uganda's biggest national park. Expect giraffes, elephants, leopards, lions and so much more. Then it's back to the lodges for a rest before your boat ride down the Nile in the afternoon and a party under the stars in the evening. Described by our last tribe as "three days in one"!

We leave stunning Murchison Falls and head for Fort Portal which overlooks Kibale Forest, famous for chimpanzee tracking, and the magnificent Rwenzori Mountains. From caves to waterfalls, to crater lakes, Fort Portal has it all and we'll spend our first night here at the magnificent Mountain of the Moons Hotel.

Day six is an action packed community based experience day. You'll immerse yourselves in the local community where you'll enjoy tea-picking, banana gin making and a swamp walk! A brand new addition to the experience in November 2023 which was loved so much we've included it in November 24 too.

One of the most memorable experiences you'll have on the trip. In small groups, split over the next couple of days, you'll head in to the mountains with your tour guide to see the incredible mountain Gorillas of Uganda. A truly once in a lifetime experience.

When you're not gorilla trekking with your tribe, you'll be taking part in community projects with them. Days 7 and 8 will give you the opportunity to work in teams to make improvements to The One Love Project and to support families in Kabale, where we've been working with the local community since 2018.

On our last day in Kabale, the whole group will reunite to share their experiences with the gorillas as we spend the day, together, carrying out improvements and renovations at The One Love Project and spending time with our teachers and students.

Our final day in Uganda. We spend the day relaxing around the pool in our hotel before our closing party on the islands of Lake Bunyonyi, with the incredible Soul Tribe. A time to celebrate our community achievements, Uganda experiences, new friendships and our infamous Tribe awards!
