Cultural Encounters

Teso homesteads, Karamojong manyattas and Kampala, with guides who live here.

A safari is also a place to meet people. In Teso, visits are arranged with households and guides from the area: milking cattle, cooking, craft work and the rock paintings at Nyero. In Karamoja, manyatta visits are led by community guides.

In Kampala, a city tour can cover the Uganda Museum, Kasubi Tombs, the Gaddafi National Mosque and the markets. We work with local guides rather than bringing one from Kampala to every village.
