Discover the Magic of Uganda Private Tours

When visiting Uganda, opting for private tours allows you to immerse deeply into the heart of this East African gem at your own pace. Smiling faces greet you as you journey through picturesque villages, and knowledgeable guides unveil the hidden stories behind each vibrant marketplace and historical site. Uganda private tours ensure a uniquely intimate connection with the land and its people, creating memories to treasure for a lifetime.

Exploring the Pristine Landscapes

Within Uganda's borders lie an array of awe-inspiring vistas that simply beg for exploration. From the towering Rwenzori Mountains, often veiled in ethereal mist, to the serene shores of Lake Victoria, the world’s largest tropical lake, Uganda does not fall short on natural spectacles. Watch as the Nile River cascades thunderously over Murchison Falls, a mesmerizing display of nature's raw power that leaves visitors spellbound.

Majestic Wildlife Encounters

Perhaps the crowning jewel of any Ugandan venture is encountering its remarkable wildlife. In the lush expanse of the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, a sanctuary for mountain gorillas, there lies an opportunity to observe these majestic creatures in their natural habitat. Joining private experiences in Uganda’s wildlife reserves not only ensures a deeper engagement but also promotes responsible tourism, aiding in the conservation of these endangered species.

Dive into the Cultural Tapestry

Uganda’s culture is as rich and diverse as its landscapes. Each private tour unveils layers of tradition and modernity woven together seamlessly. Whether you're enjoying the vibrant rhythms and dance at a local festival or savoring a sumptuous feast of ‘Luwombo’—a traditional dish steamed in banana leaves—your tour will be an odyssey of discovery that tantalizes all senses.

Engage with Friendly Locals

One of the joys of private experiences in Uganda is the chance to forge connections with the welcoming Ugandan people. Their warmth and hospitality are legendary, offering visitors a role within the community, if only for a brief moment. From crafting with artisans to learning tribal dances, engaging with locals opens a window into lives shaped by resilience and an enduring spirit of unity.

Tailored Adventures Await

Whether you crave adrenaline-pumping activities or serene retreats, tours of Uganda cater to myriad interests and preferences. Wander through Kampala’s burgeoning art scene, venture into pristine national parks for birdwatching, or set out on the shimmering waters of Lake Bunyonyi by dugout canoe. Each tailored adventure offers a distinct perspective, allowing you to craft a personal narrative of exploration and wonder.

Culinary Delights Just for You

No tour of Uganda is complete without indulging in its culinary traditions, a melting pot of flavors influenced by regional diversity. Personalized dining experiences serve dishes straight from local farms, bursting with freshness and authenticity. Feast on staples like matoke and posho while sipping on aromatic Ugandan coffee—a sensory journey that echoes the unique blend of Uganda’s landscapes and people.

As you consider planning your next getaway, allow the charm and mysteries of Uganda to captivate your imagination. Enriched by private encounters and ventures off the beaten path, your journey promises not just a visit, but a transformation through experience. Embody the spirit of adventure and let the heart of Africa guide your exploration.

Gorilla trekking is such a unique experience - it can only be done in this part of the world. While the gorilla trekk is such a highlight, the surrounding areas are so beautiful it is worth considering spending more time in destination.

I found this agency when trying to find a trip to New Zealand and Australia. I never heard of them before, so I had to do some research to make sure they were legit. This trip was going to be seemingly more in cost, so I needed to feel everything was going to go as planned and I was not going to be scammed. I had Natasa Jaric as my Specialist. Her and I worked on an itinerary that suited my needs. She is very friendly and knowledgeable. I had back to back tours for three weeks straight, as well as transfers and hopper flights. This was what I wanted, as this was my " One and Done" for this region. My transportation, hotels, tours and flights went as planned. Of course, Mother Nature dictates some plans and one activity was cancelled. I am getting a refund through the agency. Please book with confidence! This company is reputable and delivers on the itinerary. I had the opportunity to review each part of my itinerary with Natasa prior to leaving to make sure all looked correct. My trip was unforgettable!!! Thank you Goway Travel for making this trip so effortless and smooth.Consumer

Goway gave us a magical holiday in Southeast Asia. From the organization of the transportation, guides and drivers, hotels and tours, everything ran like clockwork with quality accommodations, experienced guides and drivers and amazing excursions. We had a wedding in Bali Indonesia that was the stimulus for visiting 7 countries Cebu Philippines, Hanoi, Hue and Hoi An Vietnam, Siem Reap Cambodia, Bangkok Thailand, Kuala Lumpur Malaysia, Bali, Indonesia and Taipei, Taiwan. We had marvelous tour guides and drivers. All of them spoke excellent English, had years of experience, were very knowledgeable and passionate about their country and its heritage, very friendly, funny, patient , flexible and accommodating. In Bali we were able to add another tour when we changed hotels and the guide was able to accommodate our friends from Canada to go with us. The drivers were excellent considering the traffic volumes and what we would consider complex driving movements by cars, trucks, bicycles, vespas, tuk tuks and motorcycles. The hotels we were placed in were five stars, with exceptional breakfast which showcased the country's food. We were always able to find ethnic food from that area that we could try. I would highly recommend the Sofitel Legend Metropole in Hanoi. The hotel even has a bunker from the Vietnam War that you can tour if you are staying there. Also the Komaneka at Bisma in Ubud Indonesia was a beautiful property and we were treated like royalty by being placed in a villa with our own swimming pool. All the hotels except one had universal outlets. For any of the Temples whether Buddha or Hindu, churches or Mosques, you need covered shoulders, covered knees and covered toes. Some like Indonesia provide sarongs as part of the entrance fee. For tours the I highly recommend the following: The overnight Ginger Cruise of Halong Bay. The suites were like what you see in the movies of Chinese junket's. You visit a secluded fishing village, the scenery is amazing, the food was excellent and we were taught how to make spring rolls and went squid fishing. The half day cooking class in Cambodia was an amazing experience. We were taken out to a village farm with a multi-generational Cambodian family. The farm had power but no running water. Water was gathered from the river or rainfall. We went to other farms around the village to look at the crops of herbs and vegetables, including rice that were used in the dinner. Also visited the village market for fruits, meats and fish. You were taught how to prepare the foods with the women of the farm while the men set up tables, chairs and lighting for the evening meal. The whole family plus our guide and driver ate the prepared meal under the stars. It was totally awesome. Also don't miss the cooking class at the Blue Elephant in Bangkok. This was a class of 12 students, again with a market tour to select ingredients for what we would be cooking. We prepared four courses which were first demonstrated then we went into a kitchen with stations where each of us prepared that course. Afterwards we sat down to eat the meal that we had prepared. For a different authentic experience The Dark Foodie Tour in Siem Reap by Vespa was one of the highlights of the tour. This tour you spend time with the Cambodian people in the night market, bars and restaurants and even a local fair. You are driven around the city like the locals on Vespa's. You will see lots of temples but two you don't want to miss is Angkor Wat in Cambodia and Wat Suthat in Thailand. Both are astounding and if you get a chance circle back to view the Wat Suthat at night where the lights on the temple show off its beauty. Chris Lawson

We recently enjoyed a tour around Australia arranged by Natasa Jarik at Goway Travel. The trip lasted 10 days, too short to do justice to all of Australia, but enough to give us a taste of a fascinating country. The trip was excellent, exactly what we were looking for. The complicated logistics all worked out smoothly and perfectly. Everything was on time and as advertised. The individual tours were excellent, the guides were absolutely first rate, the accommodations all worked out well (especially the central location of Swissotel in Sydney), and we thoroughly enjoyed the trip. One of the really enjoyable days was day 1, when we arrived early in the morning after a long plane flight from the US and spent the day walking through the parks and gardens and around the harbor in Sydney, visiting a couple of museums, and having a wonderful dinner at a little restaurant around the corner from our hotel. Sydney is a beautiful city! We missed spotting a cassowary in the rain forest, but we saw lots of roos and koalas and emus and dingoes and wombats and crocodiles and wallabies at Kangaroo Island and the Daintree rain forest, snorkeled at the Great Barrier Reef, and enjoyed a very interesting tour around Sydney. The arrangements were handled efficiently and easily. Thank you, Natasa, for arranging a perfect tour for us!Mike Cherry
