From animal spotting to adventure sports, there are some incredible sights and activities to experience while you are volunteering in Uganda! We've listed below some of the popular places to visit and things to do during your time on the IVHQ Uganda program, as recommended by our past volunteers. IN AND AROUND KAMPALA The IVHQ Uganda program is based in Kitende, just 15 kilmometers from the captial city of Kampala. While many of Uganda’s popular tourist attractions lie outside of the city, there are some great experiences waiting for volunteers in Kampala. Local Markets A visit to the lively local markets in Kampala is an experience not to be missed! Whether you're looking for local produce, local crafts, or even imported pre-loved clothing from the USA, Asia or Europe - there is a market for everyone in Kampala. Be sure to drop by the Owino and Nakasero Markets and Exposure Africa Crafts Village. Lake Victoria Tours Bodering Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya, Lake Victoria is the largest lake in Africa and makes for a popular spot for volunteers to explore. Kampala is conveniently located right on the shores of Lake Victoria and volunteers can take day or overnight tours with a number of different operators, offering fantastic sighseeing opportunities!
