Forget the checklist for a moment.
Some of the best travel experiences aren’t famous attractions. They’re meals shared with strangers, conversations in markets, unexpected music, streets you didn’t plan to walk and people you didn’t expect to meet.
My experiences are designed to bring you closer to everyday Uganda.
Walk, taste, listen and experience the city I know. Discover Kampala beyond the landmarks through neighbourhoods, markets, food, stories and everyday life.
Give me a full day and I’ll introduce you to several sides of Uganda’s capital: history, neighbourhoods, markets, food and viewpoints.
Uganda tastes better when you know where the food comes from. Explore a market, sample street food and learn what people eat at home. Come hungry.
Let’s turn ingredients into lunch. Learn about Ugandan ingredients, cook alongside your hosts, then sit down together and eat what you’ve made.
Kampala changes when the sun goes down. Live music, bars, food, dancing, events and the energy of the city after sunset, with someone who knows where to go.
Concerts, festivals, exhibitions, comedy, sport and markets: find out what’s on while you’re in Kampala and come along with Taj.
Entebbe is much more than Uganda’s airport. Discover its markets, neighbourhoods, lakeside atmosphere, food and relaxed way of life.
A walking tour through Entebbe’s botanical gardens, Kitooro Market, history and lakeside.
Slow things down with an evening on Lake Victoria as the sun settles over the water and Entebbe’s shoreline disappears into the evening.
Follow the road east for a day around Jinja and the Nile, combining famous places with food, conversations and local experiences.
The Source of the Nile may bring you to Jinja, but don’t stop there. Meet people, taste local food and see another side of this historic town.
The Nile and the people beside it: time on the river, then into the streets, markets and kitchens of Jinja.
Taste Jinja: street food, fresh river fish, market produce and the cooks behind them.
Leave the city for a day and travel north to Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary for a guided rhino tracking experience.
Cross from one hemisphere to another and spend time around one of Uganda’s most recognisable roadside destinations, as part of the journey rather than a photo stop.
Trade the city for savannah, wildlife and the Nile: three days of game viewing, the river and the powerful Murchison Falls landscape.
Travel into southwestern Uganda for one of the country’s most extraordinary wildlife experiences, trekking mountain gorillas.
Try another theme, or tell Taj what you’re after and she’ll create it.
Ask Taj
You don’t necessarily need a perfectly planned itinerary. Tell me when you’re coming, what you’re curious about and how you like to travel. I’ll help you find an experience that feels right for you. Let’s explore Uganda together.
A short message is all I need.
