About This Tour

A 15-day route through Uganda's remote northeast — Murchison Falls, the wildlife and Karamojong culture of Kidepo Valley National Park, Sipi Falls' coffee farms on Mount Elgon, and white-water rafting at Jinja's source of the Nile. This is an off-the-beaten-track route through Uganda's remote Karamoja sub-region (days 4-9) — expect longer driving days and simpler accommodation than Uganda's southwestern primate circuit, with your private 4x4 and English-speaking guide throughout.
