Gap Years & Volunteering in Uganda

Winston Churchill deservedly called Uganda "The Pearl of Africa"! It is one of the most beautiful countries on the continent, with fantastic natural scenery - the highest mountain range in Africa (The Rwenzoris), dense tropical forests, deep river valleys and lakes, tea and banana plantations, national wildlife reserves and magnificent Lake Victoria.

Despite being home to half the world's remaining mountain gorillas in the forests along the south-western border, most tourists have not yet discovered what Uganda has to offer, so make sure you get there before they do! Jinja is at the source of the mightiest river in the world - the Nile - with world-class white water rafting on its doorstep.

5-Week Short Venture

The Short Venture Community Volunteering in Uganda combines helping to renovate community schools on the banks of the River Nile with weekends' white water rafting, bungee jumping and chilling out at the Hairy Lemon riverside lodge. After three weeks in Uganda you will travel to Kenya for a wildlife safari in two of Kenya's famous national parks. Then you will either relax on Kenya's beautiful Indian Ocean beaches or climb Mount Kenya. This might just be the best summer of your life!!
