🏠 Accommodation on site

UPA has a guesthouse for the international volunteers that can accommodate up to 18 volunteers at a time. The volunteers have to share rooms with others. The guesthouse has basic facilities including a kitchen, a bathroom, a toilet and latrines. Apart from the guesthouse you can choose to stay with a host family. The host families are either in the same area with the guesthouse and the UPA office or can be chosen close to your project. Staying with a host family gives you the chance to get in touch with the Ugandan cultures on a different level than staying in the guesthouse among other international volunteers, even though the standard of living might be more basic than in the guesthouse.

📍 About the location

Uganda is a beautiful country gifted by nature. Volunteers may take time off on weekends or after the project to visit National parks (lions, elephants, giraffes, kobs, buffalos etc), go white water rafting, visit the mountain gorillas and enjoy the Ugandan sun.
