About this Package

Set off for Timu, where you will meet the Ik tribe — a group of former hunter-gatherers who today live on the extreme northeastern corner of Uganda. They currently and successfully practice farming and bee-keeping, and are known for their deep love of the environment and their rich cultural heritage. In the morning, you'll spend time immersing yourselves in the heart of this culture, fostering genuine cultural exchange and supporting local livelihoods. You'll share a lunch together, then head to Kaabong for panoramic views of the East African Rift Valley, set against the backdrop of traditional Ik villages perched in the hills. Spend time exploring the lush Timu Forest — a living resource that has served the community for generations, providing food, fuelwood, medicine, meat, honey and water. The biodiversity within this forest and its surroundings is largely unexplored and undocumented. The vast wilderness holds the potential to become a haven for off-the-beaten-path nature seekers, cultural tourists, outdoor adventurists and bird watchers. Return to your eco-camp for dinner under the stars.
