Itienerary

Upon arrival, a member of your Tugende Afric wellness team will greet you with serene hospitality. We’ll transfer you to your hotel where you can rest and meet your fellow travelers. After lunch at your leisure, we gather for a special welcome dinner. This is where you’ll be introduced to the entire Tugende Afric team dedicated to your journey’s success, setting an intention of peace and connection for the days ahead.

After a breakfast of fresh, local fruits, Tugende Afric will guide you on a gentle introduction to our capital’s soul. We’ll visit significant cultural sites and monuments, sharing the stories that shape our nation. By midday, we’ll enjoy a wholesome local buffet lunch. The immersion continues with a sensory walk through one of Kampala's oldest markets a vibrant tapestry of life where you’ll taste and smell the abundance of our land. We return to the hotel for a quiet evening to reflect.

Today, Tugende Afric facilitates a deep dive into living heritage. We spend the full day at the Ewaffe Cultural Village for an authentic immersion into the Baganda kingdom. You’ll dress in traditional attire, participate in food preparation, and understand the community’s harmonious roles. The day culminates in a lunch of authentic Baganda food, served in the time-honored way, as stories flow freely. If energy permits, we may enjoy a vibrant evening of music and dance at the Ndere Centre.

Wellness is rooted in balance. This morning, Tugende Afric has arranged a rejuvenating yoga session to align your body and mind with Uganda’s gentle climate. The remainder of the day is dedicated to pure, guilt-free rest a vital part of your journey. Read, relax, or simply be. This day is yours to listen to what your spirit needs.

Tugende Afric loves to showcase contrasts. Today, we journey southwest, breaking the drive with a beautiful game drive in Lake Mburo National Park. Reconnect with nature as we spot zebras, graceful impalas (found only here in Uganda), towering giraffes, and rich birdlife. We then continue to the sacred lands of the Ankole people, arriving at Nshenyi Cultural Village for an overnight stay steeped in pastoral tradition.

We wake with the sun for a grounding experience. With our hosts at Nshenyi, you’ll participate in the gentle, ancient ritual of milking the famed Ankole long-horned cattle a humble connection to life’s essential cycles. After a hearty breakfast, we begin a scenic drive to one of Africa’s most serene spots: Lake Bunyonyi. "Bunyonyi" means "place of many little birds," and its tranquil, island-dotted waters are the perfect setting for reflection.

Embrace the slow pace. This day has no agenda but your own relaxation. Soak in the breathtaking views, enjoy a quiet moment with a book, or take a gentle stroll. Tugende Afric has curated this space for you to fully absorb the peace of your surroundings and integrate the experiences of the past week.

After breakfast, choose your own gentle adventure: join Tugende Afric for a morning boat tour to explore the lake’s picturesque islands, or continue your rest at the lodge. In the afternoon, we gather for a guided journaling session, a beautiful opportunity to reflect on your journey of wellness and discovery. The day closes with a cozy campfire under a blanket of stars.

Your final full day is dedicated to pampering and personal choice. Tugende Afric can arrange rejuvenating spa treatments at the resort. Alternatively, you might choose an optional activity like a nature walk, more bird watching, or simply another day of blissful stillness by the water. This day honors your personal path to renewal.

As your transformative journey gently concludes, enjoy a final lakeside breakfast. Your Tugende Afric team will ensure a comfortable and timely transfer back to Entebbe International Airport, carrying with you the restored peace and cherished memories of the Pearl of Africa.
