Discover Uganda: Exclusive safari tips in Gütersloh!

In an exciting initiative, safari experts Lindah Nabakooza and Brian Bisusa arrived in Gütersloh today to introduce the beautiful travel destination Uganda. For the past two years, the couple have been offering customized safari tours in Uganda that are flexible to suit their guests' needs. Their goal is to offer vacationers not only an adventure but also enrichment through cultural experiences that are part of the trip.

The safari tours include, among other things, cooking together with locals and immersing yourself in local traditions. For example, a Berlin group wanted local dishes that were traditionally prepared over fire. These interactive experiences help strengthen cultural exchange and are an important part of the tours.

Cultural journey of discovery through Uganda

One of the most interesting ways to discover Uganda is on a 7-day cultural safari. This begins in Kampala, the capital of Uganda, and offers a variety of experiences ranging from community safaris to breathtaking natural views. The first few days include a visit to Lake Mburo National Park, where an evening hike is on the agenda, and an interactive experience in the Banyankole community, which includes traditional activities such as milking cows.

On the fourth day, participants are invited to enjoy the experience of gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. This unforgettable tour also includes cultural performances by the traditional Bakiga community in the evening. The trip concludes with a visit to Mgahinga Gorilla National Park and experiencing the rich Batwa culture.

Environmental protection and responsibility

Nabakooza and Bisusa place great emphasis on sustainability and environmental protection during their tours. In order not to disturb nature, photo and video recordings with flash of wild animals are prohibited. Protective masks must also be worn during gorilla observation to avoid the transmission of diseases. Jeep engines are turned off when animals are nearby so as not to disturb the animals.

Another important aspect of safaris is the economic significance of tourism in Uganda. Torsten Ramforth, who went on a safari with his wife Lilli last year, emphasizes the positive impact of safari tours on local economic models. Compared to South Africa or Tanzania, Uganda does not yet have the same level of fame as a travel destination, but it offers an impressive variety of nature and wildlife.

Uganda also beckons with the opportunity to see the “big five” – lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos and buffalo. The climatic conditions are pleasant, comparable to the early summer temperatures in Germany. However, travelers are asked to heed the advice of the Foreign Office, particularly in relation to the border regions with Kenya, South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

On Monday, May 19th, those interested can find out more about Uganda and the tours on offer. A lecture in the hall of the Matthäuskirche in Gütersloh offers the opportunity to gain deeper insights into this fascinating travel destination.
