Description
We would like to thank for your interest in our adventure tours. We hope that riding with us will fuel your taste for many more adventures. Here is some information that you should know before starting your tour.Riding abilities. First of all, you don’t need to be an off-road expert to join our tours. You’ll need a minimum of 1-2 year experience on your motorcycle and for each tour we have specified which experience you’ll need.
The Uganda North East corridor’ tour is a level 2/3 allroad tour, and is perfect for those who have some experience with off-road riding . The days can be long, depending on many factors (punctures, weather etc.), so you have to be comfortable in most situations in order not to suffer fatigue to quickly. The pace is relaxed, it is not a competition. We are travelling and touring, not racing and will take a break frequently. There will be time enough to take pictures & rest etc. On the longer tours we have resting days to enjoy all the local cultural highlights . We do want to emphasise that for our off-road tours that you need to be healthy and in a good physical condition. The riding, in combination with the weather can make it challenging en strenuous. (depending on riders experience level, weather, and/or a combination the itinerary can be changed) General This area of Uganda is also known as Uganda’s best kept secret.
The route makes its way through the East and North of Uganda and has quite some altimeters. For long time the people of this area lived in fear for the armed nomadic Karamojong warriors who were out for cattle-raids.
Also in 2011, the Uganda People’s Defence Force (UPDF) managed to disarm these warriors. The disarmament made it possible for human right and development organization to enter the area. Now since this area is safe for travelling it is one of the most authentic parts of East-Africa. And the best and most exciting way to travel this area is off course per motorbike. Although the roads are very challenging for cars, the more fun it is for us to ride them on motorbikes. Climate Uganda. The climate in East-Uganda is semi-arid. Some years of droughts are common. Temperatures can reach as high as 40°C/104°F, but average around 29°C/84°F in the afternoon and 17°C/63°F at night.

My experience with Roger as a tourist guide in Uganda
Awsome experience! We traveled around Uganda and saw animals, climbed Mt.Elgon and visited a tribe. Our guide was very genuine and funny. The only thing I would have liked more is a breifing of the day. Other than that I totally recommend Roger as a Tourist Guide!!

Murchison falls - a 3 day customized safari tour
The Game Ranger Tours team took us to a three day safari to the Murchison falls - the national park in the north-western Uganda. The owner of the travel agency - Roger - prepared a customized programme for us. We left Kampala at about 1 pm and drove for about six hours to the park to catch the last ferry to the other side of Nile at 7pm. After crossing the river, we were accommodated in a beautiful lodge called Paraa Safari. Next morning we started early to safari game drive across the savannah grassland. Our tour guide and driver - Juuko knew every road in the park. He took us to places where we saw giraffes, buffaloes, hartebeests, antelopes, kobs, elephants and many more wild animals and birds. The drive was a fantastic experience we'll never forget. In the afternoon we got back to the lodge to have lunch and then at about 3 pm took a boat to the falls - so beautiful nature sight! On the third day, before heading back to Kampala Roger and Juuko took us to the top of the falls where we could actually see how powerfull and strong the waterfall is! On our way to Kampala we visited the Ziwa Rhino sanctuary too and were lucky to see a baby rhino and its parents. After the three full days of adventure, we safely returned to the capital. Thank you so much, Roger and Juuko, for taking care of us and for showing us how beautiful Uganda is. Hope to see you again!

My woderful stay in Entebbe and Uganda
During my stay in Entebbe, I eas able to fufil my childhood dreams, namely to touch the waters of Victoria Lake and, then, to travel to the soirces of the Nile. My best tour guide was, of course, Ras. His name has got a powerful meaning in Ethiopian, i.e. Prince. He is a genuine prince by heart, character and manner. To me, Entebbe is the city of God. Uganda and Tanzania are the countries to which I would always come back. If Africa has its heart, then the heart's two chambers are Tanzania and Uganda. To all white people like me, I wpuld like to say that the cradle of the mankind is to be found in Africa. My skin is white, but my heart is black. And I ma proud of it.
