Combine your volunteer experience with a Safari

Book with Amatsiko Tours, our newly launched tour company, and know that a portion of all profits is shared with the school.

While volunteering, you will undoubtably want to see Southwestern Uganda’s renown travel destinations, like Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, where you can visit gorillas in their natural habitat.
