Welcome to Community Uganda Travel
Responsible Travel in Uganda
Responsible community travel in Uganda specializes in community-based tourism in Uganda. Our emphasis is to link visitors and communities for homestay tourism, volunteer tourism, and support community initiatives. We believe that community-based tourism is the main concept for community transformation and we are committed to offering professional and friendly service to our clients as well as life-changing experiences living with the friendly Ugandan people in their local community. We believe that an experience of wildlife and landscape in Uganda is not enough we believe that for one to have a meaningful experience at a given destination, they must be able to connect with the local people at their level. Our community safaris allow our clients not only an in-depth cultural exposure but also the privilege of making a difference by being part of volunteer building teams. Build a village clinic, and classroom block, volunteer your skills and expertise as a farmer, doctor, and nurse. We aim to give our clients a complete and sensational experience of Africa
Our Community Initiatives
Responsible community travel in Uganda, our community initiatives are directed primarily towards the responsibility of giving Ugandan communities a hand-up through travel. We help communities in rural Uganda establish brick-wall classrooms for their schools thus creating a quality environment that helps enhance better quality education provided to the students. The Ugandan population is presently estimated at 31 million people. Of this, over 60% are below the age of 18 and school-going. Universal Primary Education(UPE) a government program that allows free education for all elementary school going children has seen an immense response that has led to overcrowding of schools and eminent shortage of infrastructure and scholastic materials, some children hold their classes under Mango trees- a good gesture but not very weather-friendly.
