Uganda is the still largely the undiscovered “Pearl of Africa.” A nation that is rich in natural beauty, where over 20 different languages are spoken, and whose people possess a determination to see their country grow and prosper in spite of the many challenges they face. Positive Planet offers socially conscious tourists a unique opportunity to see the breath taking landscape of Uganda while making an invaluable contribution to the children of Uganda. A once in a lifetime adventure, here are just a few of the discoveries you will make on your trip:
- Trek mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. There are currently only 700 mountain gorillas alive in the wild; over half of them live in Uganda.
- Raft the source of the Nile. An exhilarating daylong adventure; rafting with professional guides down multiple rapids.
- Experience the diversity of Uganda’s animal and plant life at Queen Elizabeth and Murchison Falls National Parks. Over half of the bird species living in sub-Saharan Africa are in Uganda.
- Visit our sister schools communities and perform service that will improve the quality of quality of education for our children.
In addition to learning first hand about the land and culture of this incredible country 25% of the cost of your trip will support the vital work being undertaken by our sister school communities.
