Uganda - Cycling (Bike, Boats & Bananas -14 days)

Adventure biking in the friendly heart of Africa. Uganda - described by Winston Churchill as the "Pearl of Africa", is one of Africa's most beautiful countries. With stunning mountains and natural scenery it is home of half of the world's last remaining mountain Gorillas and home of some of the friendliest people you will ever meet. 



From the Port town of Entebbe, we bike through Uganda's stunning rainforests, rural farming landscapes and visit villages that rarely see foreigners; we camp on secluded islands both upon Lake Victoria and in the middle of the River Nile; experience East Africa's adventure capital Jinja on the banks of the mighty White Nile and have the chance to help out on a local community project. Enjoy game viewing by bike in the seldom-visited Lake Mburo National Park. Meet and chat with the local people or just sit back and watch life go on in true relaxed Ugandan style.

  • A good level of fitness will add to the enjoyment of your trip.
