The Nkuringo Walking Safari

Local guides lead walkers away from the lodge and into the villages and hills around Nkuringo, offering a slower look at daily life in this corner of Uganda. The route takes in views of the Virunga volcanoes, a stretch by dugout canoe on Lake Mutanda, and stops at homesteads along the way, with the option of a deeper trek into the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Guides share stories and introduce visitors to neighbours and families met along the path. It is walking as a way to meet people, not just cover ground, with Nkuringo's ridge views as a backdrop throughout.
