We are heading north. Our first stop will be at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary where you will have an extraordinary experience observing and learning about the conservation of the highly endangered white rhinos.
On the way you will be treated to one of the loudest sights in Uganda at the top of Murchison Falls, where the powerful river Nile forces its way through a gap only 7 metres wide.
Today we will have an early morning game drive and a relaxing afternoon boat ride along the Victoria Nile River where you will encounter animals gathering on the riverbanks, and an abundance of crocodiles and hippos.

Day 10 :
Ishasha!
A leisurely drive through Queen Elizabeth National Park brings us to Ishasha, one of the few regions in Africa where lions can be spotted climbing trees and lounging on branches. Therefore, make sure that during the game drive you are not only looking out over the savannah, but also have your eyes focused up in the trees!

Frequently Asked Questions – Kunsthandwerk und Community Safari
What makes the Crafts & Community Safari in Uganda unique compared to a traditional wildlife safari?
While this 21-day journey still includes game drives, gorilla trekking, and chimpanzee tracking, its true distinction lies in the deep cultural immersion it offers. Travelers spend extended time with local women’s cooperatives, artisans, rural villages, and community leaders — gaining firsthand insight into Uganda’s living traditions and grassroots development efforts. This is ideal for travelers who want to connect with people as much as with wildlife.
Does this itinerary still include major safari highlights like gorilla trekking and game drives?
Yes. You’ll go gorilla trekking in Bwindi, chimpanzee tracking in Kibale, and enjoy safari game drives in Murchison Falls, Queen Elizabeth, and Lake Mburo National Parks. But what sets this trip apart is that these iconic nature experiences are paired with community visits, craft workshops, and time to slow down and connect with Uganda’s culture in a meaningful way.
What types of community and craft-based experiences are included in the tour?
You’ll visit projects such as the Bugarama Women’s Craft Collective, a local hospital in Kabale, and take part in hands-on workshops with artisans near Lake Bunyonyi. You’ll also explore Kiyebe, a remote rural village, for a day of storytelling, cooking, and cultural exchange. These moments provide an authentic view of everyday Ugandan life beyond the safari circuit.
Is this Uganda itinerary appropriate for travelers interested in ethical, responsible tourism?
Absolutely. This itinerary is built around positive impact travel — supporting locally owned accommodations, artisan groups, and cultural preservation. It’s perfect for travelers who want to ensure their presence contributes to communities, whether through economic support or respectful engagement. It’s also slower-paced, allowing time to genuinely connect.
Who is this cultural Uganda safari best suited for?
This tour is a great fit for educators, craft lovers, social impact travelers, solo travelers, and curious couples or families who want more than game drives. If you’re searching for a Uganda itinerary that includes wildlife, culture, and craft in equal measure, this is the one. It offers the chance to learn, engage, and be inspired, all within one rich, unforgettable experience.
