Mukera Tours And Travels works out of Kasese — the one town in Uganda with a glacier above it and a national park below. Every trip is put together for the days you actually have.

Who you're booking with

A small Kasese operator, not a call centre in another city. Which means the person who answers the phone is the person who knows whether the Ishasha road is passable this week.

Mukera doesn't sell shelf packages. You say how many days you have, who is travelling and what you came to see; you get a route built around that, with the costs written out plainly. If a shorter, cheaper trip is the better one, that's what you'll be told.

  • Open 24 hours

    A 4am start for the Kasenyi plains or a late arrival into Kasese — the line is open either way.

  • Based in Kasese

    The town at the foot of the Rwenzori and the gateway to Queen Elizabeth National Park.

  • WhatsApp first

    Mukera runs its updates through a WhatsApp channel, and plans trips in the same place.

  • Quoted per trip

    No fixed packages listed. Tell us the days you have and who's coming, and you get a price for that.

The ground we cover

Four landscapes, all within reach of one town.

Kasese is the rare base where a glacier, a savannah park and a salt lake are all a morning apart. Trips are built from these — one day or ten — and priced for the plan you end up with.

  1. 01

    Queen Elizabeth National Park

    Game drives · south from Kasese

    Uganda's most-visited park sits on Kasese's doorstep: the Kasenyi plains at first light, the crater road, and the fig country of Ishasha where the lions take to the trees.

  2. 02

    The Kazinga Channel

    Boat cruise · afternoon light

    Thirty-two kilometres of water joining Lake George to Lake Edward, and one of the densest gatherings of hippo and birdlife on the continent. Best seen slowly, from a boat.

    The Rwenzori Mountains

    Trekking · multi-day

    The Mountains of the Moon rise straight out of Kasese district to snow and glacier at Margherita Peak — 5,109 m, and the third-highest point in Africa.

  4. 04

    Lake Katwe & the crater lakes

    Day trip · community-led

    A working salt lake mined by hand for six centuries, ringed by explosion craters. The kind of stop that ends up meaning more than the animals.

    A route that fits your days, with what it costs — park fees, vehicle, guide and nights all named separately.
