Discovering Uganda’s Hidden Waterfalls with Sankofa - Uganda is home to some truly beautiful, hidden waterfalls, and Sankofa took us on a guided trek to explore these wonders. We hiked through lush greenery, encountering small villages along the way, before reaching a spectacular waterfall where we could cool off and take photos. Sankofa’s guide was excellent at explaining the unique flora and fauna along the trail, making the hike informative as well as visually stunning. An absolute gem of an experience for nature lovers!

Sankofa Afrika - I am a traveler and love tourism, Sankofa made my work easy especially about the Bwind documentary I was working on. These guys are experienced and seem to have a real passion for what they do. Amazingly, the team contributed to my documentary completion for no cost which forced me to leave this here. It's an amazing team. Special thanks to Mr.Sam

Exploring Uganda’s Waterfalls and Wildlife with Sankofa Afrika Tours and Travel - Uganda’s natural beauty is truly unparalleled, and my first adventure with Sankofa Afrika Tours and Travel in 2023 gave me the opportunity to explore some of the country’s most stunning waterfalls and wildlife. From the thundering Murchison Falls to the tranquil Sipi Falls, every moment of the trip was filled with awe-inspiring scenery and unforgettable experiences. The journey began with a visit to Murchison Falls National Park, where the Nile River makes its dramatic plunge over a 43-meter drop. Sankofa Afrika Tours and Travel organized a boat cruise that took us right to the base of the falls, allowing us to witness the sheer power of the water as it roared through the narrow gorge. The spray from the falls created rainbows in the sunlight, adding to the magical atmosphere. The cruise also offered incredible wildlife sightings, including hippos, crocodiles, and a variety of bird species. Sankofa’s guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic, providing insights into the geology of the falls and the surrounding ecosystem. After exploring Murchison Falls, we continued our journey to the eastern part of Uganda to visit Sipi Falls, a series of three waterfalls located on the slopes of Mount Elgon. The landscape here was completely different from Murchison, with lush green hills, coffee plantations, and cool mountain air. Sankofa arranged for us to hike to all three falls, each offering a unique perspective and breathtaking views. The trek was challenging but rewarding, and the sense of tranquility at Sipi Falls was the perfect contrast to the raw power of Murchison Falls. The adventure didn’t end there. Sankofa Afrika Tours and Travel also arranged for us to explore Kidepo Valley National Park, one of Uganda’s most remote and untouched wilderness areas. The park’s rugged landscapes, with its rolling savannas and distant mountain ranges, provided a dramatic backdrop for our safari. We were fortunate to see a variety of wildlife, including elephants, lions, and the rare cheetah. The isolation of Kidepo Valley made it feel like we were in a world of our own, far from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Sankofa’s guide was exceptional, sharing his extensive knowledge of the park’s history, wildlife, and conservation efforts. Sankofa also ensured that our accommodations throughout the trip were comfortable and well-situated, with stunning views of the surrounding landscapes. Whether it was a lodge overlooking the Nile or a cozy guesthouse near Sipi Falls, each place offered a unique experience that enhanced our connection to the natural beauty of Uganda. In addition to the breathtaking landscapes and wildlife, Sankofa Afrika Tours and Travel provided opportunities to immerse ourselves in Uganda’s rich culture. We visited local villages, where we were warmly welcomed by the communities. We learned about traditional crafts, participated in dance performances, and enjoyed delicious local cuisine. These cultural experiences added depth to our trip and allowed us to appreciate the diversity and hospitality of the Ugandan people. In conclusion, Uganda’s waterfalls and wildlife are truly some of the most spectacular in the world, and Sankofa Afrika Tours and Travel made sure that our journey to explore them was unforgettable. From the thundering Murchison Falls to the serene Sipi Falls and the wild beauty of Kidepo Valley, every moment of the trip was perfectly planned and executed. If you’re looking to discover the natural wonders of Uganda, I highly recommend Sankofa Afrika Tours and Travel. Their expertise, passion, and commitment to creating exceptional travel experiences make them the ideal partner for your Ugandan adventure.

A Relaxing Getaway at Lake Bunyonyi - Lake Bunyonyi was the perfect retreat after a busy safari itinerary. Sankofa Afrika Tours arranged a relaxing stay by the lake, surrounded by stunning scenery and peaceful waters. We went canoeing, swam in the lake, and enjoyed the spectacular sunrise views from our cottage. Sankofa’s attention to detail made this peaceful retreat even more special. If you’re looking for a relaxing escape with great hospitality, Lake Bunyonyi with Sankofa is it.
