Uganda Village Tours | Spend Time with Village Locals in Uganda | Kitagata Safaris Uganda
Enjoy the Uganda experience in Village tours, meet local people, dine with them, sleep in their local houses, and get to understand their daily lives from sunrise to evening. Uganda has several Villages located just some kilometers away from the capital city – Kampala. In the Village, home duties are shared based on gender as it was in the past too. Less township life is practiced in Uganda villages. Women do most of the domestic work and men do the hardest duties usually out in the wild doing small-scale hunting on rabbits and also herding cattle away from predators and thieves.
Uganda village tours are an outing that will give one a chance to socialize and share a life with villagers in their homestays. New friends are made in this Uganda village tour safari experience. New recipes are an added knowledge in a lifetime. The day in day out life of men in the Village contributes to the fact that: why men’s life expectancy is always deemed short compared to women. Such discussions and views will come upon board basing views on the experience accrued in the tour before the end. Contact Kitagata Safaris Uganda to start planning your Uganda Village tours on time.
Spend Time with Village Locals in Uganda – Uganda Village Tours
Kitagata Safaris Uganda encourages travelers to visit local people in their communities which is one way of contributing to the incomes of the locals. This is a win-win for both travelers and the communities because it provides travelers with an opportunity to experience the Village life tours and appreciate the daily lives of the people and the people enjoy sharing their homes with the visitors.
You can request an activity in Village tours to be added to the Uganda safari itinerary where you spend days in the Village tours or just hours participating in a chore or visiting a local school. We desire that locals get to earn directly from the ‘tourism dollar’ and bring about development in their communities which contributes to conservation as they become protective of the nature they benefit from.

Visit local school/health center
You can visit a local school or health center which takes anything between 1 to 3 hours depending on what you engage in while at the school/health center. You can bring along things to give away to the people like scholastic materials, balls, etc. If this is part of your itinerary, you are encouraged to carry along something to leave with the pupils or as a contribution to the school or health center.
Village Walk: This takes you through the Village stopping tours at various sites like tea/coffee farms (tea experience/coffee experience) if they have such in their village, a waterfall, a distillation site of local gin, a banana beer brewing demonstration site, a traditional healer, bird-watching in a Village, music, and performance.
These walks are laid back and provide an opportunity for you to interact with the Village. This kind of walk can take approximately three hours depending on the sights and activities; however, visitors are free to choose the sites of particular interest and opt for a shorter itinerary.
Homestays: With more time and interest in immersing yourself further in the culture and Village tours of the area you visit, you can choose a few days to stay with a local family. You will have the opportunity to get involved in the daily chores of the family and eat traditional and adapted foods.
