Nkuringo Walking Safaris

Nkuringo Walking Safaris specializes in guided nature walks between Buhoma Village and the town of Kisoro, in southwestern Uganda. We trek through the dense Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, home to mountain gorillas, and emerge at the charming, traditional hilltop community of Nkuringo, and vice versa.

This experience offers a low-cost inside perspective of village life in rural Uganda and highlights the wonders of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, all at your own pace. Traveling with our professional local guides, you will enjoy the warm welcome that Ugandans are known for, and we provide the opportunity to immerse yourself in the fabric of rural Uganda few others get to discover. Nkuringo Walking Safaris employs both professional walking guides and driver guides; all are Ugandans.

We also operate an eco-friendly camp where our guests may stay in before or after the walking safari. We offer multi-day walking activities in the vicinity and within Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. We are also instrumental in facilitating our guests’ onward travel with our professional driver guides and vehicle support, and develop bespoke itineraries to all Uganda’s National Parks.
