We have several Tour packages for our volunteers

Most of our volunteers enjoy personal time by visiting our national parks and tourist attractions. As Uganda becomes a more popular tourist destination we want to assist our volunteers and generate another source of funding for the Saint Ann Foundation. We would plan and organize transportation, accommodations, and any related fees according to desired destinations. We work with locals to support the local economy and 15% of tour packages go directly to the Saint Ann Foundation. Book with the Saint Ann Foundation and experience The Pearl of Africa while supporting our nonprofit!

From animal spotting to adventure sports, there are some incredible sights and activities to experience while you are volunteering in Uganda! We’ve listed below some of the popular places to visit and things to do during your time on the Saint Ann Foundation volunteer Uganda program, as recommended by our past volunteers.
