Uganda

Uganda, the pearl of Africa, offers an unforgettable road trip through lush, undiscovered landscapes and vibrant cities. From jungles to mountains, experience the raw beauty and diversity of this hidden gem.

We know it from the farthest corners, and that results in amazing trips. We put them together by venturing out there ourselves. Believe us, you won't find these experiences anywhere else!

2. Local experiences

That means you'll visit local people in their villages and communities. Hike with the Maasai, cook with your host family in a homestay, and cast a line with traditional fishermen.

3. You decide

So, what are you in the mood for? We'll custom-tailor the entire trip to your wishes. And you can count on us along the way, even at night.

4. Travel responsibly

While you enjoy your dream trip, you'll be contributing to the development of local communities, economies, and the environment. That feels good!

The pearl of Africa with Charlie's Travels.

Uganda is incredibly beautiful, with its endless tropical green landscapes. From thundering waterfalls and steaming jungles to shimmering lakes and the rugged mountains in the south, a trip through this country is an adventure in itself.

Discover stunning crater lakes or paradise islands with palm trees in Lake Victoria. Add the mighty Nile to the mix, and your journey is complete.

Uganda is also a haven for wildlife enthusiasts. In its diverse national parks, you can find rare mountain gorillas and tree-climbing lions. And beyond its breathtaking nature, Uganda offers vibrant cities, delicious local cuisine, and the irresistible rhythm of Ugandan music.

Unique experiences in Uganda

Crater Lakes

Crater Lakes Motortour

Once, the Crater Lakes were a wild and volcanic landscape. Now, you can glide through the lush jungle and over the rolling hills on a motorbike.

Bunyonyi en Mutanda

Lake Bunyonyi en Lake Mutanda

Two mirror-like lakes hidden in the jungle of southwestern Uganda. One dotted with 29 islands scattered across its surface, the other reflecting the majestic volcanoes of Congo.

Kampala

Kampala Citysafari

As you zoom through Kampala’s green hills on the back of a motorbike, your eyes take in a whirlwind of sights. Markets, churches, mosques, and temples flash by as you soak up the city's rich culture and history.

Karamoja en Kidepo Valley

Karamoja is dry, rugged, and breathtakingly beautiful, home to the traditional Karamojong people. Bumpy roads wind like veins through vast plains, where towering rock formations rise dramatically into the sky.

My husband and I drove from Uganda to Rwanda and then on to Kenya. On several occasions, we were accompanied by a guide who spoke excellent English and was eager to share stories about their country or the places we visited. Five stars for Charlie’s!
