WORRIED ABOUT SAFETY IN EAST AFRICA?

This is a very common concern, especially for parents, but an unnecessary one! Uganda and Kenya are amazing countries that millions of tourists visit each year, and are classed as excellent countries to travel to, not only due to what they have to offer, but also their stability and safety. Since 2009, we have had over 2,000 volunteers safely visit East Africa with us.

We answer some common questions on Safety in Uganda here.
