Social Innovation Museum

The Social Innovation Museum is a unique place that will inspire you to want to change the world. Social Innovations are dynamic and living, thereby you will see how they happen and be able to interact with our Social Innovators from the Social Innovation Academy (SINA). Scholars will give you a free tour (tips towards the museum encouraged) and tell you their story, what they are working on and show you our 25+ social enterprises and innovations. Some highlights are our upcycled buildings from plastic bottles and the beautiful hill where we are located. We also offer specific workshops (e.g. upcycling plastic bottle construction) and training in social innovation with our facilitators from the Social Innovation Academy (SINA).

We had a few days in Entebbe before embarking on our birding and gorilla safari, so headed out to Ngamba Island Chimp Sanctuary. Well worth the visit, learnt a lot about chimps, had a wonderful boat ride on Lake Victoria crossing the equator each way and spent quite some time observing the bird and reptile life along the shore line of the island....a most enjoyable day!!

Victoria Nile

Reviewed By TreggyGodwin

The mighty Lake Victoria was thought for a long time to be the source of the Nile. It is in a sense. Waters from the large lake leave by the Victoria Nile to head north to join the Albert Nile in northern Uganda. When the water leaves the massive Lake Victoria, it does so in a spectacular fashion. The water pours out of the lake at the Ripon Falls, also known as Owen Falls Dam, in Uganda. It then goes by the Victoria Nile to Lake Kyoga before joining the Albert Nile. The lake itself is shared by three countries: Uganda, Tanzania, and Kenya. The headwaters for the streams that feed the lake, however, originate from the mountains of Rwanda and Burundi. its a spectacular breathtaking view.

We stayed for a night at the guesthouse and then did a morning walk. - the staff were very friendly and helpful - the food was very good, and beer was available - the accommodation was fine - the best thing about staying on site is that the rhinos come and sleep just outside the guesthouse - an amazing sight in itself! - the guides were great and very knowledgable - seeing the rhinos from 20m away was just amazing, words don’t really describe - we saw 6 in total (including Obama, the dual nationality Kenyan-American rhino) All in all and incredible experience. Great value and well worth every penny spent - especially considering it’s all going to a good cause, which seems to be managed well.

Bigodi Wetlands Sanctuary

Reviewed By Rob6594 - San Diego, United States

We had a wonderful time touring the Bigodi Wetlands Sanctuary with our excellent guides Joseph and Jimmy. They were truly outstanding in their knowledge and expertise! Both men were very knowledgeable and fun to be around. Joseph knew many bird calls and it was nice to hear him call out and have birds respond. We saw an expansive variety of plants and animals (birds, mammals, fish, reptiles, and invertebrates) on our 3-hour walk, making this trip a very memorable one. We were also able to hear about Joseph’s youth club, the Kibale Conservation Club. It was really cool to learn about efforts going on to educate children and young adults about the importance of environmental science and wildlife conservation. Thank you Joseph and Jimmy for allowing us to have such an amazing day!
