Uganda Gorillas Tracking and River Nile Cruise Tour

Normally it's painfully expensive to go on a gorilla safari due to the high cost of permits (usually $600) but during the low season (April-May and November), the Ugandan Wildlife Authority discounts the price and I capitalised on this to offer a three-day gorilla tracking safari with a permit for a third of the usual price. With the safari including two travel days, we will track through the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest until the mountain gorillas are located, after which the group will spend one hour with the gorillas.
Nile River welcomes you to Uganda, the spectacular White Nile and East Africa's Adventure Capital, Jinja, home to some of the world's finest grade 5 white water rafting as well as an array of other adventure activities.

Whether you are a first-timer, family or high adventure enthusiast, you’ll find your perfect white water adventure here with ME.
 
Nile River isn't just about white water, when it comes to Jinja and the Source of the Nile, there is so much more. In addition to rafting and kayaking, we I a wide range of river and riverbank adventure activities as well as accommodation in Jinja and safaris around Uganda.

Forget the guide books, if you want up to date information on Jinja and beyond look no further. I am the Source of the Nile, the source of adventure, the source of excitement and information.

Murchison Falls Wildlife, Rhino Tracking and Nile Boat Cruises

Operating out of the Red Chilli Hideaway – a popular backpacker stop-off in Kampala – this safari heads to Murchison Falls national park, the country's largest. After a picnic overlooking the falls and a night in basic camp on the banks of the Upper Nile, the safari then takes in a morning game drive in the park's Nile delta at Lake Albert – where you might see lion, leopard, giraffe and elephant – followed by a boat trip on the river. The camp is simple and facilities are communal but it is one of the few budget alternatives to Murchison's luxury getaways. After a second night at the camp, the safari moves on to the Ziwa Rhino sanctuary, where guests learn to track rhinos with one of the rangers.

CLIMBING THE EAST AFRICA MOUNTAINS

I provide three different climbing styles to choose from; whether lightweight, luxury, or VIP, you are sure to find the right option and equipment that meets your needs.  You may also wish to climb with a group of like-minded individuals on a small group climb or make plans for a private ascent.


VIP
This package includes a proper bed, walk-in tents, a wash tent, and a bathroom tent.  Tips for the guide and porters are included in the price, making it a good option for relaxation and peace of mind.


Luxury
This the most popular climb package, providing 3m x 3m dome tents with thick mattresses and sleeping bags, and a separate bathroom tent.  This is a great option for those looking for great comfort at a reasonable price.


Lightweight
In this option less camp equipment is needed thus fewer porters are needed, making this the most economical package.


Small Group versus Private Climbs
A scheduled climb up Mount Kilimanjaro is the most cost effective option and ideal for both couples and individuals.  Imagine the exhilarating experience of climbing the monster mountain with fellow travelers who all share the same goal – standing atop the summit of the world’s tallest freestanding mountain. In addition to the mutual support and encouragement a small group offers, you’ll also find you are likely to make life-long friends.
Small group climbs are offered for various routes on specific dates throughout the year on a first come, first served basis.  Any trip can run with a two person minimum and single travelers are welcome to join any scheduled climb.
Private Kilimanjaro climbs are ideal for those seeking the exclusive attention of their guides or for friends or family climbing together. Private trips can depart on any date (subject to the availability of crew and equipment).
Success on you climbing Africa highest mountains relies on planning and climbing with experts.


The Team
During your climb on Kilimanjaro you will be accompanied all the way by a hard working team including a highly experienced head guide, assistant guides, camp crew and porters. We pride ourselves on only using the best guides, who are experienced, fully trained and knowledgeable about all aspects of Kilimanjaro and Tanzania’s culture and life. Our extraordinary partners on the ground will ensure that your climb is fun, safe, and rewarding.
There is a full operations team back at base who are crucial to your climb. During your time on Kilimanjaro there will be one specific manager at base who will be assigned to twice daily communications with your group; the operations team monitors your climb checking your performance and health as well as that of all the crew members. They are ready to assist swiftly should it be required.


They will check every item of your gear and climbing kit before your climb and provide you with an extensive orientation so you are completely prepared for your ascent.


Porter Policy & Ethics
Porters and climb staff benefit from regular, ongoing training in all aspects of their work, including the natural history and ecology of Mount Kilimanjaro and many further topics that help broaden their outlook. All of the climb staff are encouraged and supported with furthering their education, to progress and seek promotion, and to see climbing Kilimanjaro as a rewarding long term career. All are kept informed and involved in the trips and the progression of the operation and are very well paid.
All of our mountain crew have access to good medical care both on and off the mountain, are well clothed and equipped, and provided with plenty of food of the best available quality. Our porters’ loads are always within the limit set out for Kilimanjaro porters by Tanzania National Parks and each load is carefully packed and weighed before departure to ensure that each porter is comfortable.


We have strong ethical and environmental policies, ensuring that climb crews are well cared for and properly equipped at all times and that your porters are well paid. We leave no trace of our presence on Kilimanjaro other than footprints. Not only is this the right way to treat our partners on the ground, but it has the bonus of ensuring that these important people are always in the best possible condition to look after our clients during their ascent of Kilimanjaro and take good care of the magnificent mountain that dominates their lives.
I believe that the safety and wellbeing of our clients and your climbing crew are of paramount importance and do not set out to be the cheapest Kilimanjaro climbing operator on the mountain. Instead, I offer high value for money on all our climbs.
