This 10 day Uganda student study tour is a field trip through Uganda’s rivers, forests and savannah. Students visit the Source of the Nile, track rhinos at Ziwa, see Murchison Falls, follow chimpanzees in Kibale, cruise the Kazinga Channel and, for students aged 15 and over, trek to mountain gorillas in Bwindi.
What will students learn on this 10 day Uganda student study tour?
The route covers conservation and geography in one trip. Ziwa shows how rhinos are being brought back to Uganda, Kibale and Bwindi show how primate tourism funds forest protection, and the Nile, Murchison Falls and the Kazinga Channel bring river systems and wetlands to life.
Community visits at Bigodi Wetland and with the Batwa people add a social side, so students can discuss how people and parks live side by side.
How is the study tour planned?
Two nights in Kampala, two in Murchison Falls, two in Kibale, one in Queen Elizabeth and two in Bwindi. Students travel in 4×4 vehicles with experienced driver guides, and long drives are broken up with stops.
Can younger students join?
Gorilla trekking is only open to people aged 15 and over, and chimpanzee trekking has a minimum age of 12. For younger groups we replace these with forest walks, the Bigodi wetland and extra game drives.
Read our guides to chimpanzee trekking in Kibale and gorilla trekking in Bwindi.
