Your wellness journey begins the moment you land at Entebbe International Airport. A member of the Tugende Afric team will be there, offering a serene welcome to ease you into Uganda's peaceful rhythm. We'll transfer you to our carefully selected hotel where you can rest and settle. The afternoon is yours to unwind at will. In the evening, we gather for a special welcome dinner. This is where we, your Ugandan hosts, will introduce ourselves properly, share our vision for your transformative week, and set an intention of connection and peace for the days ahead.

After a breakfast of fresh, local fruits, Tugende Afric will guide you on a journey into the soul of our capital. We’ll visit significant cultural sites and monuments, sharing the stories that have shaped our nation. By midday, we’ll enjoy a wholesome local buffet lunch. The immersion continues with an afternoon walk through one of Kampala's oldest markets. This is a sensory experience a vibrant tapestry of life where you’ll see, smell, and taste the abundance of our land at the fresh produce and spice stalls. We return to the hotel for a quiet evening dinner, allowing you to reflect on the day's vibrant impressions.

Today is a deep dive into tradition, curated by Tugende Afric. We spend the full day at the Ewaffe Cultural Village for an unparalleled immersion into the Baganda kingdom's way of life. You’ll be lovingly dressed in traditional attire, learn the art of local food preparation, and understand the harmonious roles within our community. The pinnacle is a lunch of authentic Baganda food, served in the time-honored way, as stories flow freely. It’s a participatory day of learning and laughter. If energy permits, we may treat you to an evening of dynamic music and dance at the Ndere Centre a celebration of Uganda’s diversity.

Wellness is about balance. After days of beautiful stimulation, Tugende Afric has carved out this day for inner stillness and physical harmony. We’ll begin with a rejuvenating morning yoga session, aligning breath with movement in Uganda’s gentle climate. The remainder of the day is dedicated to pure, guilt-free rest. Read by the pool, enjoy a spa treatment (we can happily arrange this), or simply be. This day is yours to listen to what your body and spirit need.

Tugende Afric loves to showcase our country’s contrasts. Today, we journey southwest, breaking our drive with a beautiful safari in Lake Mburo National Park. Feel your senses awaken as we spot zebras, graceful impalas (found only here in Uganda), towering giraffes, and a host of birds. This connection with raw nature is a profound part of wellness. We then continue to the sacred lands of the Ankole people, arriving at the Nshenyi Cultural Village for an overnight stay steeped in pastoral tradition.

At Nshenyi Cultural Village, Tugende Afric offers you a full experience of the traditional Ankole culture. You will wake up at 6am for the authentic cattle milking experience with the famous Ankole long-horned herds, followed by breakfast. After a relaxed morning to pack, Tugende Afric will facilitate your journey to the serene Lake Bunyonyi, with lunch en route or at the lake.

On our final day, Tugende Afric will ensure a smooth departure. Depending on your flight time, you will set off from the lodge after breakfast for your transfer to Entebbe Airport, carrying the peace and memories of the Pearl of Africa with you.
