Your Passport to Uganda
At the heart of Alakara Travels are Ingeborg and William Oluka. Ingeborg’s journey with Uganda began at the age of 19 when she first set foot in the country as a student. Instantly embraced by the warm hospitality of the people in the northeastern region, particularly in the small town of Soroti, she felt an immediate connection. Exploring the villages and immersing herself in the local culture, she forged deep bonds with the community. On the other hand, William, having been born and raised in Uganda, possesses an innate understanding of the country’s intricacies and hidden treasures. Together, fueled by their shared passion for Uganda and a mutual desire to showcase its wonders to the world, they founded Alakara Travels. Their personal connections and expertise are woven into the fabric of every journey, ensuring that each experience is not just a tour but a transformative adventure.
Showcasing Uganda
We believe in showcasing Uganda in all its splendour, from its stunning landscapes to its diverse wildlife and unique birdlife. Whether you’re exploring the untamed wilderness of Kidepo Valley National Park, trekking through the lush forests of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in search of mountain gorillas, or cruising along the Kazinga Channel in Queen Elizabeth National Park, every moment promises to be an unforgettable adventure.
At Alakara Travels we have a deep respect for Uganda’s diverse cultures and traditions. With our intimate knowledge and understanding of the local communities, we offer immersive experiences that go beyond mere sightseeing. Whether you’re participating in traditional ceremonies, joining in the dance, learning indigenous crafts, or sharing a meal with local families, our journeys are designed to foster genuine connections and mutual respect.
But our commitment to sustainability doesn’t end there. We believe in leaving a positive impact on the places we visit, which is why we prioritize responsible tourism practices that benefit both people and the environment. From supporting local businesses and employing members of the community to partnering with conservation initiatives and promoting eco-friendly travel, we strive to ensure that our tours enrich the lives of Ugandans and protect the natural beauty and unique wildlife of the Pearl of Africa.
With Alakara Travels, you’ll embark on a journey that not only enriches your own life but also contributes to the well-being of Uganda’s communities and the conservation of its wildlife and nature. Your adventure begins with Alakara Travels, where every step is a step towards a brighter future for Uganda and its people.
