Wildlife, Fun for families with children (13 days)

A tour in Uganda with children will be a memorable experience for the whole family. Matoke Tours designed a great trip whereby you pass all the "must see" of Uganda.

Note: Chimpanzee tracking is only allowed for persons from 12 years and older. We don't visit Bwindi in this tour because gorilla tracking is only allowed for persons from 16 years and older. For this reason we go to see the chimpanzees at Ngamba island and Chimpanzee permits in Kibale Forest are optional.
