On DAY FIVE we will enjoy a GAME DRIVE around Queen Elizabeth National Park in the morning.
In the afternoon we will take a BOAT TRIP along the KAZINGA CHANNEL 🚤

🏞️ It is a 32 km long natural channel that connects Lake George to the large Lake Edward.

Here, from the comfort of the boat, you can admire the wildlife from a very short distance away.

🐠 🐟 🐡 The waters of the channel are populated by TILAPIA, CATFISH and LUNGFISH, called ‘Emamba’ in Luganda - the national language.
But what you will see in profusion will be HIPPOS! 🦛 🦛 🦛

🦛 🦛 🦛 According to the local guides, 9,000 hippos currently populate the Kazinga channel, and considering that their life span is 40-50 years there are large colonies of several generations.

😮 😮 😮 Some interesting FACTS about hippos

Did you know thatonce the female has given birth she leaves and it is the DAD who takes care of the little ones until they grow up ❓

Did you know that Hippos are good SWIMMERS ❓

Despite their appearance, they also JUMP, but what is usually surprising is that they can also RUN quite fast, reaching speeds of up 48 km/hour❗

But when you will meet them in the channel, they will be relaxing by the shore, completely immersed in the water, protecting their DELICATE skin from the strong AFRICAN SUN ☀️🌍

During the boat trip you will have the chance to have many more wildlife encounters, with…

Buffalos 🐃
Crocodiles 🐊
Elephants 🐘
…
And many many birds 🦅

Another incredible National Park awaits you on DAY FOUR of our ✨First Impression of Uganda Tour ✨

🏞️ At an altitude between 1,100 and 1,590m, in Kibale NP you can find the highest number of primates species in the country.

🐒. You will enjoy trying to spot as many Ugandan Red Colobous as possible, without counting the olive baboons, red-taled, the Ugandan mangabey, the blue monkeys and the pretty l’Hoest’s monkey, known as the mountain monkey.
This number of species includes four nocturnal species and the most popular of all: the CHIMPANZEE 🐒

🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲
Kibale, in fact, is the best spot to indulge yourself in chimpanzee-tracking activities, and to meet members of the four communities - of the total twelve - that are habituated to humans.
We can guarantee that it will be a pleasure to walk in this park, mainly dominated by mature forests with hardwood trees whose canopy reaches 60m above the ground.
With a population of roughly 1,500 individuals, chimpanzees are not the only mammals that live on the 766 square km of the park, which, in fact, hosts at least 60 species of other mammals.
🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲

Among them are many large mammals like lions, hippos, leopards and even the FOREST RACE ELEPHANT, smaller and hairier than the savannah one.
However, it seems hard to spot them.
🐆 🦛 🐘 🦁 🐆 🦛 🐘 🦁 🐆 🦛 🐘 🦁

🔎 But we are here for the chimpanzee, isn't it?!
Let’s continue our search and not get distracted! 🤭

On DAY TWO of our First Impression of Uganda TOUR, we will explore the wild beauty of Murchison Falls National Park (MFNP).

🌴 MFNP is Uganda's largest protected area, home to 144 mammal species, 556 bird, 51 reptile and 51 amphibian species 🌴

🚘 There are plenty of opportunities for GAME DRIVES, both on land and on the water.

You will also have the chance to spot many of the 🦒🦒 endangered ROTHSCHILD’S GIRAFFES 🦒🦒🦒, in fact MFNP shelters its largest population in the world.

💥 However, what will leave you SPEECHLESS will be the breathtaking view of the FALLS! 😲
The waters of the Nile are compressed to fit in a narrow natural passage, and then they perform a leap that releases PURE POWER and a roar that will make you feel very small 🙃

💚 It is something that you have to experience once in your lifetime: a unique thrilling experience 🤩

On DAY ONE of our First Impression of Uganda TOUR, on the way to Murchison Falls National Park, we will visit ZIWA RHINO SANCTUARY.

💔 As a result of illegal poaching and political turmoil by 1983 rhinos were EXTINCT in Uganda.
The Sanctuary - a joint project between the Rhino Fund Uganda and Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) - was established in 2005 to provide a safe place for the rhino population to grow.

An incredible work has been done and from the initial SIX WHITE RHINOS - imported from Kenya and the USA in 2006 - today the number of Rhinos has increased to 32 ❗❗

🦏 🦏 🦏 Steady steps towards a more sustainable future for the WILDLIFE.

👀 Bear in mind that Ziwa is THE ONLY PLACE in Uganda where you can see rhinos in the wild.

What is the most VIBRANT, COLOURFULl and CULTURALLY DIVERSE place in a town?

It’s probably its STREET MARKET!

This is where you can find fresh vegetables 🥔🥦 and seasonal fruits that grow on the local lands and trees 🍎 🍌🍉 🍍
Women come here to source the ingredients for their daily kitchen creations 🥘, and also to chat with other community members before heading home.

We visit the market regularly to take travellers to enjoy the daily hustle and bustle.
Do you want to join us? ✋

The Street Market Tour is one of the highlights of our activities in Kisoro town.

✨KISORO✨is a lovely modern city at an altitude of 1,900m, close to the Rwandan and Congolese borders and surrounded by the majestic Virunga volcanoes 🌋🌋🌋
Thanks to its strategic location, the town is a perfect base for 🦍gorilla 🦍 tracking both in 🌳🌲🌳Bwindi Impenetrable Forest 🌳🌲🌳and 🌳🌳Mgahinga National Parks 🌳🌳

Kisoro has a rich and a strong which is, unfortunately, generally invisible to visitors.

Hope this finds you well and looking forward to the holiday season.

This has been quite a year. As I reflect on Coffee Tour's activities during 2022, I am struck by how much has been achieved in so short a space of time. The world has changed dramatically over the past 12 months - and so too has our work evolved to respond to some of the new travel challenges that we all face.

This truly has been one of the busiest years in the organisation’s history, and I’m so proud of all we have done – the team, Consultants, guides and our clients.

It's time now to plan for the new year and our new year holiday plans are available. Follow the link Where is one place in Uganda you have traveled that you would tell everyone to visit at least once in their lifetime?

❤️ It is in our company NAME because it is part of our IDENTITY.

☕ COFFEE is what we do, and we LOVE doing it.

✨✨✨

👨🏿‍🌾 We work with LOCAL FARMERS to produce ORGANIC COFFEE because
It makes US happy, and
It makes THEM happy!

🌱 We support organic production because we care about the NATURAL ENVIRONMENT and the HEALTH of our kids.

💰 We support local producers because we know that this benefits the local economy, avoiding the traditional TOURISM LEAKAGE.

🫘 Tourists learn from the local people and the money stays locally, REINVESTED in the improvement of their QUALITY OF LIFE.

🔗 Local farmers are happy because their coffee beans are STRONGER and more RESISTANT to disease and their overall QUALITY is superior to non-organic beans.

💪 ..and what is the ROLE of tourism in all that?
Simply and crucially INSTRUMENTAL:

We use tourism as a FORCE FOR GOOD.

🔨 We continue to SUPPORT the work of small producers because we know that this will ENCOURAGE other local farmers to do the same and to USE TOURISM to invest in their land and their CULTURE.

We believe in the WIN-WIN-WIN-WIN situation

Tourists - Tourism - Environment - Local Communities

HIGHLIGHTS: ZIWA RHINO SANCTUARY

Two of the five rhino species existing worldwide are present in the African continent and are endemic to Uganda.
Sadly, the white and black rhino were both extinct in the country by 1983, due to poaching and to internal political instability in the 70s.

The Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary - a project of the Rhino Fund Uganda and Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) - was established in 2005 with the aim of providing a safe place for the rhino population to flourish.
It is located 176 Km north of the capital Kampala, on the road to Lake Albert.
In addition to breeding one of the "Big Five", the sanctuary provides a RELEASE PROGRAM to reintroduce once endangered animals back to the national parks.
Today the number of Rhinos in sanctuary has increased to 22.

The visit to the sanctuary is included in our signature tour "First Impression of Uganda", before a visit to the Murchison Fall National Park, on Lake Albert.

Beyond Coffee. We do Coffee...... but not only

☕ Coffee is what we love doing, but we do more.

MUCH MORE! 🥳

Our experiences are filled with immense love for our land and its inhabitants, and that’s why CULTURE is a big part of who we are.

🙌🏽 🙌🏿 🙌🏾 That’s why all the experiences we offer are COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES, created with them, and directly managed and delivered by the locals.

🧲 Taking part in these activities is a way to POSITIVELY IMPACT the local economy because they support the healthy habit to grow economic alternatives to tourism at the grassroots level.
They are also important because they nurture YOUNG SKILLS and create space for WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS.

🫘 The Coffee experience Tour is only one of them, others include the visit to the lively LOCAL MARKET in Kisoro, the opportunity to chat with a local artisan or to take part in a GASTRONOMY WORKSHOP 🍲

🚣‍♀️ You can take a BOAT RIDE in the volcanic lake and feel embraced by the hills that surround it.

🔎 You can also go for a BIRDWATCHING WALK, to discover the variety of endemic species that our country hides and protects.

🏠 The hospitality of our people is outstanding and deciding to be accommodated in our COMMUNITY HOMESTAYS will give you the opportunity to experience it firsthand.

BWINDI IMPENETRABLE NATIONAL PARK
..is located in South-western Uganda, at an altitude that ranges between 1,160m and 2,607m.

It is one of Africa’s most biodiverse forests and it is the home of a very diverse mammalian fauna, which includes almost half of the global mountain gorilla population, which means more than 300 mountain gorillas can be found here.

Beyond the 18 gorilla groups, there are other primates, such as the black-and-white colobus (in the picture below), elephants and antelopes.
The park also attracts bird lovers, with more than 300 species of birds, of which 23 are endemic to the Albertine Rift, and 200 butterfly species.
Its flora is also rich and varied.

Renamed “Impenetrable Central Forest Reserve” in 1964, Bwindi became a national park in 1991, and it was listed as UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994.


Bwindi (“dark”) Impenetrable Forest is a beautifully intense experience that will reward you greatly.
