One of our staff members will then get in touch with you to discuss your wishes and requirements, answer all your questions and advise you if needed. Based on your feedback we will compile a non-binding quote that includes all the info you need: a detailed itinerary overview, description and links to the accommodations we are suggesting, a clear “what’s included and what’s not included” section, a structured price calculation and options for add-on services or activities. If you are okay with the quote, you will need to fill in a registration form and we will send you an invoice for an advance payment.

Okay, do you have a minute to spare? There are so many reasons why Uganda, Rwanda and Tanzania are excellent destinations for adventurous travel. The natural environment, its climate and natural wonders allow for excellent off-the-beaten-path journeys. Think about all the activities you can do at Lake Victoria, the Nile river, Kilimanjaro, countless national parks. Pick your choice of different climates in one journey: misty jungles, snowcapped mountains, crater lake districts, endless savannah, rocky lava scenaries, lush green tea hills, beautiful white beaches. And we haven’t even talked about the extraordinary wildlife. Where else can you combine mountaingorilla trekking with a eye-to-eye moment with a lion, followed by a wonderful safari in a stampede of zebras? Then there’s the hospitable community, the inspiring culture, the easiness to travel around, the weather, the safety…..

Cycling can be done year-round in Rwanda and Uganda. However, if you don’t like rain and a bit of mud you might wanna dodge the heavy rains during the rain season (March-May and October). The high season from June to August attracts a lot of visitors, so best to try to avoid travelling in those months if you are not keen on crowds. And finally, you should plan your visit in Rwanda in April well as this month contains a national week of mourning to remember the genocide period.
