General Info

Kanaama Interactive (KI) offers you a different holiday. Kanaama Interactive Community Support (KICS) supports local communities.

Together, they enable you to experience rural life in Uganda, and offer practical help to local communities during your trip. The emphasis at Kanaama is on dialogue. Take part in change - help open another future.

Our trips are ideal for people who are unable to take long periods of time away from work or home, but who are keen to contribute practically and internationally to communities in need. You can combine volunteering with an opportunity to sightsee in Uganda.

You choose between:

* our 12-day introductory trip with optional sight-seeing (for individuals or groups) at QENP
* one month or more volunteering
* a study tour to your specifications
* a combination of these

Kanaama, the home of this project, is a small community twenty miles north of the dynamic town of Mbarara. It lies in South West Uganda, amidst the rolling hills of the Ankole region. The holiday base there is Bahemuka House. Ankole culture
