🌿 Responsible Travel Policy

Where we are honest with you

We do not claim certifications, offsetting schemes or community programmes we have not actually established. What follows is how we operate and what we ask of travellers. Specific commitments are added here once they are real, not before.

Wildlife comes first

• •We follow the rules of the managing authority, group sizes, viewing distances, time limits and photography restrictions exist for good reasons.
• •We do not offer experiences involving captive wildlife interaction, animal rides or feeding wild animals.
• •Our guides will end or adjust an activity where continuing would disturb animals.
• •Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed, and we will not pressure a guide to break rules to produce one.

Communities are not scenery

• •Cultural experiences are arranged with the community's agreement and on their terms.
• •Ask before photographing people. A guide will help you ask.
• •We favour community-run and locally owned suppliers where they can deliver well.
• •We pay our guides and suppliers properly and on time.

What we ask of you

• •Follow park rules and your guide's instructions, even when they are inconvenient.
• •Take your litter with you, including on hikes and boat trips.
• •Do not give money or sweets to children, it encourages begging over school attendance. Ask your guide about better ways to contribute.
• •Do not buy wildlife products.
• •Dress and behave respectfully at cultural and religious sites.

Tourism and conservation in Uganda

A meaningful share of what travellers pay for park entry and permits supports conservation and the communities living alongside protected areas. Travelling well here genuinely matters, which is why we would rather explain the rules than quietly work around them.
