Educational School Trip to Fort Portal and Kasese

About this expedition

A five-day learning trip to western Uganda that takes students out of the classroom and into the places they study. Built around the theme Learning Beyond the Classroom, it covers geography, biology, history and culture: caves and crater lakes around Fort Portal, the Tooro Kingdom at Karuzika Palace, tea growing and processing, Bakonzo culture at Ruboni, the Rwenzori Mountains, a game drive in Queen Elizabeth National Park and traditional salt mining at Lake Katwe. Evenings bring team-building games, quizzes, group presentations and reflection sessions, so each day's lessons stick. Accommodation, all meals, transport, entrance fees, a professional guide and a first aid kit are included, at UGX 400,000 per student.
