I spent 2 weeks in December. I discovered Kampala, its culture (Buganda Parliament, Kasubi tombs, Ndere Center) and nightlife. Then I moved to the Parks to see the Big 7 and many more in Murchison Falls, Kibale Forest, Queen Elizabeth, Bwindi and Lake Mburo before going back to Kampala, and then rest and have a couple of days in Jinja. It is a journey I will never forget, with one-time-in-a-life activities like seeing all these savannah animals in their home habitat (with the pinnacle being the gorillas) or crossing the Equator line. Kuzuri team planned the trip perfectly, so that I had only one thing to think : enjoy! I already look forward to my next stay.

I contacted the team of Kuzuri Escapades Tours and Travel to organize a trip to the southwest region of Uganda. The team suggested some excellent activities. The hotels they selected were all incredible for my budget.
