Kabubbu is only 40 minutes drive north of Kampala, the capital, and only 1½ hours from Entebbe airport. Your visit will be a life-changing experience as you meet the children and community. You will be charmed by the warmth of their welcome, their joy and their friendliness.

But there is so much more. Your daily programme will teach you about the lives and culture of the people and the struggles and joys they experience; as well as understand how Quicken Trust is working with the community to achieve its goal of self-sufficiency.

Enjoy fully serviced comfortable accommodation and excellent meals created by internationally trained local cooks. You will be entertained by the children singing and dancing and experience a typical Ugandan feast with cultural dancing and entertainment by the adults of the local community.

Uganda has some wonderful natural resources, a fascinating history to discover and delightful people to meet ~ all that is needed is you to be there!

Many visitors play football and other games with the children, read stories to them, or take morning assembly at the school, work as classroom assistants or volunteer for a project to help develop the community. You will find that as you help teach the children, you will be taught many things!

For your leisure time there is a library of relaxing books (finish yours, leave it there and take one from our shelves), garden games and what we understand to be the only ‘Crazy Golf’ course in the whole of Uganda!

And when it comes to evening just sit and admire the special sunsets that feature at the end of the Ugandan day.

Whatever you choose to do you will share the experience of something new and life changing, understanding more of what it means to live in Kabubbu, and return home a different person.

WHAT CAN YOU DO IN KABUBBU?


It depends if you are there for only 3 days ~ or more. We encourage at least a week but everyday you will learn something new about life in Kabubbu!

As a short-term visitor you can also try your hand at making local crafts like baskets, grass skirts and pottery or go on a guided walking tour with an expert local guide taking in the history and flora and fauna of the area. You can even learn African dancing and drumming. If you are an orphan sponsor you can meet your child and visit their home.

Volunteer work teams, educational parties and corporate team-building groups should plan for at least seven days on site plus travel. This gives you time to both start and complete a project like building a two-room house for a destitute family. As a team you will be rewarded with a satisfaction you never thought possible.

The Kabubbu Resort and Conference Centre is an ideal location for companies on team-building volunteer visits to work together and understand more about Kabubbu and more about themselves. It has a dedicated conference room for up to 40 with whiteboard, blackboard and data projection facilities. All a company has to do is bring its staff and laptop computer and connect up along with a wire-free internet link.

It is ideal for a Church Retreat combining the potential for both corporate and personal spiritual development with a real awareness and deep understanding learning of the needs both spiritual and temporal of a community like Kabubbu in line with James 1 v 27: 'Religion that God accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.' Guided retreats can be organised.

YOUR ACCOMMODATION


Accommodation is of a high standard for a rural area in traditional thatched round houses. They are semi-detached, having two separate accommodation areas making 10 units for two people giving a total of 20 visitors.

Each fully serviced unit has a bedroom with wardrobe area for clothes, two comfortable chairs and a bathroom with a shower, toilet, and hand basin all fed with rainwater collected from the roofs of the primary school and other buildings.

All have electricity and solar lighting and mosquito nets. Laundry facilities are also available on site.

We have recently completed fully serviced dormitory accommodation for larger volunteer groups such as school parties and corporate team-building groups. It includes 24 bunk beds (four rooms of six) and two en-suite teachers/leaders rooms. The accommodation is divided so that girls and boys can be in completely separate sections.

Dining is in a thatched open-sided restaurant with barbeque and bar area. Two experienced Ugandan cooks provide a wide choice of local and international food with a speciality in Indian dishes, served buffet-style, of a high standard created specially for visitors under the guidance of a visiting French chef.

Evenings can be spent in the Kabubbu Bar where a range of local and international drinks are available.

Bon appetit!

WHAT ELSE CAN I DO IN UGANDA?

The staff at the Kabubbu Resort and Conference Centre can help you arrange any additional travel in Uganda at the end of your time in Kabubbu. You will need to make your own travel plans, arrangements and payments directly with them. Their email address appears below.

Kabubbu is in central southern Uganda near Gayaza and Kasangati.

In the south-west at the border with Rwanda there are the mountain gorillas.

To the west, the Queen Elizabeth National Park (for safari), the Ruwenzori National Park with stunning mountains and Murchinson Falls National Park's spectacular waterfalls in the northwest.

To the south there is Kampala, the capital, with its modern city bustle and sights and the Tomb of the Kings, Lake Victoria with the Ssese Islands (84 islands) and lake fishing for the mighty Nile Perch.

To the east there is the Source of the Nile at Jinja for fishing and lake tours, white-water rafting close by at the Bujagali Falls and quad biking. You can even do a bungee jump a little further up the Nile!

With ten National Parks and many historical sites there's a lot to be explored. So you need to make plenty of time available.

For bird watchers there are 1,008 species, hundreds of which the European ornithologist may never have seen before, including 150 East African birds only ever seen in Uganda. The Crested Crane is Uganda's national emblem.

And, of course, you can stand with your feet either side of the equator and see if the water goes different ways down the plughole to the north and south of it.

You can be assured that every day will bring you a new experience – an education not to be missed!
