We recommend applying for an East African Tourist Visa, which covers Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda, and a separate visa for Tanzania if needed. Kindly confirm requirements with your embassy in advance.

s this trip suitable for children or families?

Absolutely! The trip is ideal for families, friends, and solo travelers. Activities are a mix of adventure and relaxation, making it family-friendly. However, some nightlife experiences (like clubbing) are optional and catered to adults.

What should I pack for this trip?

Pack light, breathable clothing, swimwear, sunscreen, comfortable walking shoes, a valid passport, and personal medication. Don’t forget travel essentials like a camera, toiletries, insect repellent, and a small day bag for excursions.

Can I join the trip from a city other than Mbarara or Kampala?

Yes. We can arrange custom pick-up points or coordinate your meeting point with the group if you’re based in another location (e.g., Nairobi or Arusha). Please notify the organizers early so adjustments can be made.
