North Uganda Tour

I travel to North Uganda this time with my family to visit the remote Karamojong tribes in the Northeastern region of the country. This cultural encounter felt like stepping back in time, as interacting with the locals who largely cling to their pastoralist heritage felt like stepping into another world. After a week in this area, we traveled west …

Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest

Today was the day that I have been waiting decades for - my first gorilla trek! My stomach was a ball of nerves all morning as I ate breakfast and packed my backpack for the trek. Our luck with encountering chimpanzees and lions was terrible, and I was nervous that would carry over into today. Boy, was I ever wrong.

We checked in at the Bwindi …

Kazinga Channel Cruise - we were able to get very close to the shoreline and creatures!

Cruising the Kazinga Channel

A short drive from Kyambura Gorge Lodge, we entered Queen Elizabeth National Park. We made our way down a bumpy dirt road to the check in center for visitors to the Kazinga Channel.

Hiking across Bwindi Impenetrable Forest

The road less traveled (hiking between Bwindi and Gahinga)

To get between many of the lodges in Uganda and Rwanda, you can utilize quick and easy flights on small planes, or travel much longer hours by road. However, between Bwindi Lodge and Mount Gahinga Lodge, you have the option of cutting out an 8+ hour drive, and replacing it with a hike through the Bwindi Impenabtrable Forest, followed by a 2 hour …

Mount Gahinga National Park - Golden Monkey trekking

Golden Monkey Trekking in Gahinga National Park

The golden monkey experience started very much the same way as our gorilla trekking experience. We walked from our lodge to the Mount Gahinga National Park headquarters and enjoyed a cultural show from the local village, as well as a briefing from the rangers.

The groups for golden monkey trekking are quite a bit larger than groups for gorilla …

It is always best to do your research on crime rates (particularly violent crime rates) and to check the State Department website before deciding to travel anywhere to make sure you are not visiting an area where crime particularly against tourists is rampant.

Driving in Uganda

If you thought that driving in L.A., Seattle or New York was bad, you should take a turn in Uganda! The only other place I've seen driving like this was in Guatemala, where at least everything is still located on the left side as it is in the United States! In Uganda, not only do you have to overcome the hurdle of the steering wheel and …

Belize adventures I've worked with Adventure Life before in planning trips and appreciate the quality of trips they put together. They use knowledgeable local guides, comfortable lodgings, and assist with transportation. I find trip planning stressful, so am happy to turn it over to them. They work within our parameters of time, budget, activity level, and types of activities to give us great experiences!

We went to the Patagonia on the Chile side and Perito Moreno in El Calafate, Argentina. Eric of San Diego handled our trip with expertise. The preparation went smoothly, despite some changes on our part with scheduling conflicts. He offered great advice which made us feel at ease with all decisions on the trip. It was truly a great experience.
