About this expedition

Three days in and around Fort Portal, the green, tea-growing heart of western Uganda. The drive from Kampala pauses for photos in the tea plantations and lunch in Mubende, and you arrive in time for a guided walk around town. Day two is the big one: the male and female hot springs at Sempaya in Bundibugyo, the Nyinamwiru Caves, Nyakasura Falls and a guided tour of the crater lakes, with an optional night out in Fort Portal afterwards. Before heading home on day three, you visit Karuzika Palace, seat of the Tooro Kingdom. Expect plenty of fresh air, short walks and photo stops.
