Cultural safaris in Uganda or Uganda community cultural tours are yet another Uganda safari attraction on top of her outstanding natural beauty and amazing wildlife.

Uganda has a strong community cultural traditional heritage to discover during your Uganda cultural safaris. If you undertake a customized Uganda cultural safari tour, you will have an experience that showcases the verdant still native, rich local culture of Uganda or culture in Uganda in a respectful way that is also beneficial for both sides.

You will understand what makes the ‘Pearl of Africa’ (Uganda) so attractive by encountering the contrasting culture in Uganda. You will meet and interact with a wide variety of people (native tribes) who are open, friendly, interesting, and interested, and most of all, glad you’re here and are delighted to not only showcase but also teach their unique Uganda cultures.

The country has some 56 different tribes, most with their own traditions, beliefs, and language. Uganda tribes like Buganda, Busoga, Bunyoro, and Tooro have kingdoms while others operate under chiefdoms.

On cultural tours in Uganda, you will have many opportunities to engage with these local people and learn about their lifestyles. This may be simply chatting with your local Uganda safari guide or a more in-depth experience with a member of the local community if you choose to visit a village or take part in a traditional ceremony.

Cultural safaris in Uganda are often combined with other Uganda safari experiences. In the west, you can visit the Batwa, Batooro, Bakiga, Banyoro, Bakonzo, and Banyankole tribes as you enjoy big game safaris, spectacular birding in Uganda, mountain hiking, and of course the bucket list opportunity of trekking and seeing the Gorillas in Uganda and tracking Chimpanzees.

You can head northeast to the true wilderness of Kidepo Valley National Park to spend time with amazing tribes of the Karamoja sub-region including the Karamojong, Jie, Tepeth, Kadam, Ik, Dodoth, Pokot, Labwor, Mening, and Nyangea. They’re all predominantly nomadic cattle keepers who are very passionate about their culture, heritage, and traditions.
