ENTANDA CULTURAL EXPERIENCE – 60Km out of Kampala
Located 60Kms west of Kampala, the Entanda Cultural experience is our best recommendation for travellers seeking to fully immerse themselves in understanding the culture of the Ugandan people.
A typical day Cultural experience at Entanda would start as early as 8:00 with you transferring from Kampala or Entebbe arriving at 10:00 am. The group is then split; men go hunting (mock hunting, not the actual hunting – No animal is Killed – thanks to your Participation – your cash is Used to Compensate for the would-be actual animal kill.)

IK PEOPLE OF MORUNGOLE MOUNTAINS – KIDEPO VALLEY PARK
The Ik is an ethnic group numbering between 10,000 to 11,000 people living in the mountains of northeastern Uganda near the border with Kenya, next to the more populous Karamojong and Turkana people. The Ik people were displaced from their land to create the present-day Kidepo Valley National Park and consequently suffered extreme famine. Also, their weakness relative to other tribes meant they were regularly raided.
