  :: Volunteer Uganda

As Uganda’s troubled past is finally confined to memory the country is beginning a new chapter where economic and political stability are forerunners on the agenda.

It now boasts one of the fastest growing economies in Africa and is becoming an increasingly popular destination with travellers, especially those who wish to see the country’s star attraction – the magnificent Mountain Gorilla. There are less than seven hundred of these remarkable creatures left in the world today and many of them can be found in Uganda.

Of the country’s natural wonders the most impressive is a small waterfall that flows from the northwest side of Lake Victoria. This seemingly insignificant waterfall is the original source of the River Nile and though it is now obscured by the Owen Falls Dam (Uganda’s main source of Hydro-electric power), it is more than worth a visit just to gaze upon the subtle beginning of this legendary river. Needless to say this beautiful river offers a vast array of adventure activities including kayaking, white-water rafting and even bungee jumping (from a cliff above the river itself).

What is perhaps most intriguing about Uganda, however, is the rich diversity of its culture. In the hidden recesses of this cultural melting pot you can still find the remnants of the ancient tribes that once thrived here. The oldest of these indigenous inhabitants can be found in the hills to the south-east of the country, where the Batwa and Bambuti pygmies continue to preserve their ancient lifestyles. To the northeast lie the Karimojong, whose nomadic lifestyle is reminiscent of the Maasai.

All in all, Uganda is an amazing country with so much to offer and yet its rich terrain is rarely explored by foreign travellers. For a true adventurer there surely can be no better destination than this.
