  Visiting Kabubbu Sponsor A Child
   
 
INTRODUCTION

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.

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!

Do as much as you like or as little as you want. 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.

For your leisure 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!

Or just sit in the amazing sunshine and while away their time waiting for the specialsunsets 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 and return home a different person. Click here to send an email to Quicken Trust about visiting Kabubbu.

WHAT CAN I DO IN KABUBBU?


It depends if you are there for only 3 days ~ or more. We encourage at least a week!

As a short-term visitor you can 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 business events like management or sales retreats. 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 of 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.

WHAT ELSE CAN I DO IN UGANDA?

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.

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 not to be missed!
