About Uganda

Uganda is uniquely gifted compared to most African countries. It’s endowed with both the wild savannah plains and the lush tropical jungles. It’s location on the equator combined with the high altitude offers the perfect summer climate all year around.

However, what makes Uganda a must visit destination is its people. They are warm and vibrant people, with a colorful myriad of traditions. Uganda, just like most African countries is very rich in culture. There is such a diversity because of the various tribes that inhabit this country. Foreigners are generally very well received in Uganda, no surprise there as Uganda was recently named one of the friendliest countries in the world.

Because it lies close to the equator, Uganda enjoys a tropical climate all year-round. Daytime temperatures average between 20°C/68°F and 28°C/82°F, with mornings and evenings usually cooler. The country can be visited all year round. However, while Uganda doesn’t have a defined summer or winter, due to its proximity to the equator, it does have a wet and dry season, and these can impact on activities.
Uganda is one of Africa’s true unsung heroes. Nestled in between some of the well-known gems of east Africa, this beautiful country boasts everything you could ask of a safari destination. From mountain gorillas, birdlife and traditional game, to friendly locals and unique tribal communities, not to mention adrenaline-fueled adventures, Uganda offers a huge variety of activities.

The country combines typical safari landscapes of flat savannah grasslands with acacia trees scattered on the horizon with the tropical jungle climate and mountainous landscape of the Congo Basin. Only in Uganda can you be sitting on the back of a jeep checking out lions on a sunny morning and in the afternoon, track chimps in a tropical forest. What’s more, Uganda comes with fewer tourists allowing you to enjoy your adventure in an intimate and immersive way!

Jinja

Situated on the northern shores of Lake Victoria, a primary source of the mighty River Nile, Jinja is today just as famous for being the adventure capital of East Africa. A vast array of adrenaline pursuits awaits the intrepid traveler here, from ATV-riding to kayaking and mountain biking. Easily reached from Kampala, Jinja also oers a number of more sedate activities such as boat cruises on the lake, bird-watching and simply admiring the town’s impressive colonial architecture, much of which has been well-preserved. Blessed with a temperate climate, Jinja has a laidback atmosphere and a picturesque setting, so it’s no surprise that it has become an iconic destination for Uganda adventure holidays.

Kampala

Ugandas capital is an energetic city that refuses to stand still. Beyond the traffic jams of the downtown area, the most obvious example of this dynamic atmosphere is the city skyline, a constant work-in-progress with frequent additions of new skyscrapers and luxury hotels. But there are also fragments of traditional African culture on display throughout Kampala, especially at the weekend fish market on the shore of Lake Victoria, where you can rub shoulders with Ugandans from every walk of life. Kampala serves as the perfect introduction to any Uganda holiday, and of course it makes an excellent starting point for the quintessential African safari.

Bwindi

Bwindi is a world famous tropical forest located on the rolling mountains of southwestern Uganda. Its fame stems from being the home of half of the world’s surviving mountain gorilla population. What makes a trip to this jungle worthwhile is not just its famous residents. It’s the adventure of hiking through an impenetrable forest, navigating through its tangled vegetation dangled over a deeply split landscape of steep slippery valleys and high cold ridges while being entertained by the percussion of singing birds, chattering monkeys and the sight of thousands of butterflies. Its ever-chilly weather and challenging terrain offer unequalled ambience and serenity for the visitors seeking to meet and interact with their closest species, the mountain gorillas.

Kidepo N.P

A safari in Kidepo is not for the first-time safari goer hoping to tick all of the Big Five off their wildlife checklist. More rough and ready than a traditional safari, Kidepo is for those looking to get off the beaten track and experience truly authentic Africa. It is possible that you will have the whole park to yourself at any one time, a priceless experience that you are unlikely benefit from anywhere else in Africa. The landscapes are epic, in a word, with huge rock formations and towering mountains framing the plains. You may even have the chance to walk among zebra and giraffe if your guide deems it safe to do so.

Queen Elizabeth N.P

Set against the backdrop of the rugged Rwenzori Mountains, Queen Elizabeth National Park lies in the Western branch of the Albertine rift. From the steep valleys and ravines of the mountains to the wide-open savannah plains below, the landscape of this wonderfully diverse ecosystem is seemingly dominated by water. Lake Edward, the Kazinga channel, Lake George, the Ishasha River and a string of crater lakes provide for over 250 kilometers of lake shores and a rich habitat for both mammals and birds, stunning wildlife viewing opportunities and spectacular scenery. On the southern part of the park, are the Ishasha plains famous for the unique tree-climbing lions.

Karamoja

Karamoja is one of Uganda’s wildest and untamed regions, with steadfast cultural traditions, semi-nomadic tribespeople and startlingly few tourists. Located in the east of the country, the local tribespeople here migrated from Ethiopia and those that remain in this region are known as Karamojong. Cattle are the focal point of their way of life and they will do anything to keep it this way.

Designated a UNESCO World Heritage site, it conceals several marvels: the medina, the venerable Great Mosque, the Aghlabid Basins and the stunning mausoleum of Sidi Saheb decorated with ceramic tiles.

Djerba & Zarzis

Both Mediterranean and Saharan at once, the island of Djerba has been a source of fascination since the time of Homer. Ulysses tasted the “lotus” there, a delicious fruit which takes away all desire to leave, and today each visitor feels spellbound by its exceptional atmosphere; an atmosphere which it shares with Zarzis, its neighbour on the mainland. But Djerba is also an island of holiday clubs, activities in the fresh air, a unique heritage to discover and excursions into the majestic setting of the Sahara.

Tozeur & Nefta

Did you know this fact?

In Rwanda, milk is more than just a beverage—it’s a symbol of community and hospitality. Rwandan tradition holds that sharing a glass of milk is a gesture of friendship and trust. Milk is often served to guests as a sign of welcome and is considered a staple in Rwandan households. Whether enjoyed fresh or in traditional dishes like urwagwa (banana beer), milk plays an integral role in Rwandan culture and social gatherings.

About Rwanda

Rwanda has a temperate climate with temperatures seldom climbing above 25C. The long dry season is from June to September and there are two annual rainy seasons, the first from mid-March until the beginning of June and small rains from mid-September to December. The best time for gorilla and monkey tracking is the dry season – if only to spare you getting drenched (you can still see them in the rain, they just get a bit grumpy). The dry season is also good if you want to see game in Akagera National Park because thirst will draw the animals to the watering holes. You will also find at this time the roads are less dangerous and the risk of malaria is lower. The rainy season is the best time to see chimpanzees and is also the time when the place is at its most lush and green.
Rwanda is found in East Africa, a landlocked country lying astride the Equator crossing. It is an East Africa Community member state, and surrounding it are countries such as Uganda, D.R. Congo, Burundi, and Tanzania. Kigali is the capital city of Rwanda, also the country’s biggest town. It is geographically located in a region with many beautiful hills making it a true Land of a Thousand Hills. The highest point of Rwanda is 4507 meters which is Karisimbi Volcano, one of the eight Virunga Massifs.

When you talk about Rwanda, the first thing that comes at the back of many is the 1994 genocide. It is the historic event that defines the history of Rwanda. It is one tragic event that Rwanda as a nation has vowed never to repeat itself. During this historic civil war, nearly a million lives were lost in the space of just 100 days. The 1994 Rwanda civil war occurred between the Tutsi and Hutu. However, the Twa –the renowned pygmy forest hunters and gatherers are believed to be the earliest inhabitants of present-day Rwanda.

About Madagascar

Madagascar, fourth largest island in the world, the island-continent is home to one of the most valuable mega biodiversity in the world. A large variety of landscapes between Equator and Tropic of Capricorn with Highlands at an altitude of 1500 m, the thorny desert of the Deep South, the rainforests on the East as well as 5000 km of coastline with dream beaches, cruising, sailing, and diving options. But it is the people with their radiant smiles that will remain in your memories and in your hearts. Still very little frequented, almost confidential, travelling in Madagascar remains a privilege.

Where do Malagasy people come from? When did Madagascar become populated? Some mysteries remain, but there are some certainties. It is from Asia, Indonesia, Polynesia that the first inhabitants of the island left. It was between the 10th and 13th centuries. A great crossbreeding followed with Arab and African contributions. The myth of the Vazimba, the original inhabitants of Madagascar, is still very much alive. Kings and queens succeeded one another for 4 centuries, the most famous one: Andrianampoinimerina who made the unity of Madagascar by decreeing that the sea is the limit of his rice field. As a French colony from 1900 to 1960, the country kept their language, part of its culture and strong economic relations. Today Madagascar is a republic of 25 million inhabitants led by a president elected every 5 years.
As far as religion is concerned, the island, although very basically animist, is mainly Christian with almost 50% of the population. On the coasts you can find the Muslims of Madagascar. Ancestor worship is highly practiced, highly respected and present in everyday life. The climatic seasons are simple: It rains from mid-December to the end of March with risks of cyclones. From April to end of November, it is the best time to travel to Madagascar. July and August are the winter months and it can be chilly in the early morning on the Highlands. The coasts are always warm and sunny.

Malagasy gastronomy is made of fresh products. The meat is more likely to be zebu, grilled or in sauce. Fish and seafood will delight you along the coasts. Tropical vegetables and fruits are always on the menu. But the invariable remains rice. From morning to evening, from north to south, it is rice that the Malagasy love. And to drink? Rum of course!

At an average altitude of 1,300m, it is the emblematic landscape of Madagascar with its rice terraces and small villages with red earthen houses and their thatched roofs.
