As we believe in the healing powers of creating something, we're happy to offer pottery and tailoring workshops to our guests with talented Ugandan craftsmen and women. They shall make sure you can take some knowledge but also your creations home.
VANILLA TOUR
As the production of vanilla is growing in Uganda, the vanilla farmers are contributing to conservation through the protection of the trees who shade their vanilla vines. Every vanilla flower has to be hand-pollinated by the farmers to produce a vanilla pod. Have a walk around Kipling and meet vanilla farmers with Enimiro Uganda, an agro-company which supports farmers in producing quality products sustainably.
JINJA TOUR
Jinja City is located at the Source of the Nile on the shores of Lake Victoria. It has therefore acquired the title of capital of adventure sports in East Africa. But besides that, Jinja also has a vibrant history and rich architectural legacy. It is the second urban center of Uganda with significant economic importance and some great Indian and local restaurants.
