Zaga was a great host leading me through trails on the east side of Lake Victoria. Added bonus was the bike ride crossing the lake. You'll see various birds diving into the water hunting for fish.”

Walk through Kampala’s Katanga settlement with a local guide, meet community members, and gain a human view of urban poverty and resilience.

“An incredible and emotional trip. I saw a world that, without the company's help and Maxwell as a guide, would have been closed to me. Despite the "difficult" destination, I felt safe and at ease the entire time. Unfortunately, and very sadly, I saw the real life of many people in Africa, which doesn't take place in the resorts of Zanzibar, but in places like Katanga.”
