There is simply so much to immerse oneself here when on tour. Game drives, forest walks, mountain biking, motorcycle safaris, primates tracking, boat cruises, kayaking on the Nile, surfing the Grade 5 rapids on the Nile, bungee jumping, horseback safaris, hot air balloon safaris across the beautiful Murchison Falls National Park, a dug-out canoe trip on Lake Mutanda or Lake Bunyonyi, the choice is yours and endless on a Uganda tour.
