Authentic Ugandan ExperienceEco-sustainable tourism destinations in rural Uganda
SEED Starter Team Biodiversity Kampala, Uganda
Bridging the rural-urban divide in the villages is at the core of our bottom line. As these rural communities embrace the outside world, we believe that they will cast away illogical customs and rejuvenate the most elegant aspects of their culture, bettering their lives while thinking inwards for more sustainable solutions.
"We provide international tourists with the opportunity to dive deeper into the culture and the things that make the Ugandans unique, experience life through the eyes of the locals and contribute to the communities through themed adventures and local activities."
"We help local tourists appreciate local cultures and learn more about their own country."
Authentic Ugandan Experience focuses on developing culturally and naturally rich Ugandan rural villages as eco and sustainable tourism destinations, and create new sustainable, economic and social opportunities for the village dwellers. They offer custom eco-tours, cultural excursions and adventure packages that support causes in the local communities. Their online platform also allows for showcasing of handmade crafts from youth groups, disabled and women which helps them to earn additional income.
