For 12 years in a row, once again Uvuyo Travel & Events had the privilege of organising the Spirit of Adventure tour for Ince (Pty) Limited (www.ince.co.za).
This year the adventure was Uganda. What an amazing country this is!!! A week of packed adventure from start to finish. A group of 9 adventurers took off on 25 August and little did they know how they are about to stretch their boundaries. A day of quad biking through the small villages in Jinja with friendly children greeting us with great enthusiasm on the side of the road: Hello; how are YOU?? Waving with the most beautiful smiles. Ending the day on a private sunset cruise on the Victoria Nile. The next day was river rafting and rapid after rapid took us from a scale of 4 to 6 on a 25km adventure. With beautiful surroundings we drift down the Nile and enjoyed the experience of a scary flip or two into the water. 2 days of mountain biking through the banana plantations; small villages; through valleys with some really though hills. The African sun on our skins; our faces covered with dust and a last uphill amongst the trees takes us into a rain forest for the night. A domestic flight from Entebbe to Kisoro took us to the area of Mgahinga Gorilla National Park. Mt. Gahinga is a volcano hike of nearly 8 hours through a virgin and secondary forest; bamboo area and on top of the volcano, standing on a swamp. Breathtaking!!!! The highlight of the Spirit of Adventure tour: an hour in the presence of the Nyakagezi gorilla group. An indescribable experience. Nature keeps you humble. Spirit of Adventure experience where strangers turn into friends and relationships are formed. Thank you to Ince for the trust; the respect and the carte blanche I have as a company to take the Spirit of Adventure to the next level. Thank you for 12 years of Adventure, where it leaves you speechless then turns you in a storyteller. 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
