At Entanda Cultural Adventure, we promote inclusive and sustainable tourism that empowers communities while showcasing Uganda’s rich culture and natural beauty.
We integrate rural women, youth, persons with disabilities, widows, and the elderly into tourism through training, market access, and eco-friendly initiatives like organic farming, beekeeping, and fruit growing — directly supporting over 60 people from 40 households.
In partnership with organizations such as UNDP, Mastercard Foundation, Uganda Tourism Association, and Makerere University, we create opportunities for youth, promote environmental conservation, and strengthen local livelihoods.
By booking a tour with us, you become a partner in impact
helping transform lives while experiencing authentic Ugandan culture.

We’re a company dedicated to excellence and promoting inclusive tourism. We care about our culture, our people and our environment.
We are an inclusive tourism business. We integrate marginalized people (rural women, unemployed youth, people with disability, widows and the elderly) in all our activities. We dedicate time to identifying needy communities, organise them, train them and connect them to the wider markets.
In our pursuit of inclusive business practices, we partner with the United Nations Development Programme, the Mastercard Foundation, Uganda Tourism Association, Makerere University Business School and the Private Sector Foundation to create opportunities for young people and environmental conservation. We facilitate organization of communities, provide training, build market linkages and deliver practical anti-poverty strategies.
At Entanda cultural Adventure, our current support focuses on organic farming, beekeeping, fruit growing and free range chicken rearing. The project directly supports over 60 people from 40 households. We further support market access, linking the community to hotels, restaurants and visitors. Besides all of these, the community offers an authentic eco-cultural adventure.
We happily work with a network of local tour companies that promote inclusive tourism in Uganda.
You can be involved in two primary ways in supporting us to support our inclusive initiatives. We do not encourage handouts but fair trade in which you, the community and ourselves all gain something– we all win. How can you be involved?
Become our partner. All our clients are our partners because by booking a tour through us, we are able to support our local community partners. That way, your visit to Uganda is not just only about having a great safari but also helping the needy. And you’ll get an opportunity to interact with our communities and see for yourself how your money transforms lives.
We are looking for partnerships with universities and colleges. We are enthusiastic about having foreign students come and share their experiences with us, and with our local communities. You can undertake your community or research project with us, and our partners across Uganda. We enjoy a healthy strategic partnership with Uganda Community Tourism Association, an organization that supports over 70 community tourism initiatives in Uganda. We also work closely with Makerere University Business School, Department of Leisure and Hospitality. We can arrange internships and experience sharing among local students, communities, business people and foreign students. There are many opportunities for research to test theoretical models and ideas – and we are available to help you.
We can also work together with you to plan, organise and implement a project. You can do this with your friends or alone. We have a long list of needs from our communities. These needs include providing clean water access (appropriate clean water sources), saving unprotected wildlife, protecting the natural environment, training in various fields of business and community organisation, school sanitation, books projects, community libraries and community health among others. You can make do with the resources at your disposal, for example the books you don’t need, the equipment you no longer use or even the clothes you no longer wear!
You can also choose to undertake your project in any field where you have a passion or expertise. We are available to facilitate the whole process.
