🇳🇴Fra Norge
Uganda, written for the Norwegian traveller who reads landscapes.
From Oslo, Uganda is one connection and a different palette entirely. We design private journeys for Norwegian travellers who arrive with the patience of a fjord and want every day on the ground to matter — usually a fortnight, written in private.
The Practical Brief
The journey, in plain terms
Everything a Norwegian traveller needs to know before the first conversation. We hold the rest — the lodges, the permits, the guides, and the long, quiet arc of the journey itself.
01
Flights
One-stop from OSL via Doha (Qatar), Istanbul (Turkish), Amsterdam (KLM), and Addis Ababa (Ethiopian). Total flying time from twelve hours.
02
Visas
Norwegian passport holders apply online for a Uganda e-visa (US$50). The East African Tourist Visa (US$100) covers Uganda, Rwanda, and Kenya.
03
Best season for Norwegian travellers
June through September aligns with the Norwegian summer and Uganda's drier season. December and January are warm and quieter.
04
How long to come
Twelve to sixteen nights is the considered minimum. Most Norwegian travellers compose a fortnight.
05
Currency
The Uganda Shilling. US dollars (crisp, 2013 or later) are widely accepted at lodges. Cards work in cities and at most lodges.
06
Safety
Uganda is calm and welcoming. We follow UD (Utenriksdepartementet) advisories and provide private vehicles, vetted guides, and twenty-four-hour ground support throughout.

Entirely. Vehicle, guide and lodges are held in your name.
03Can we combine with Rwanda?

Can we combine with Rwanda?
Often the loveliest arc — gorillas in Rwanda, then Uganda's wider composition.

Kampala after dark, and the festivals in between.
Uganda is not only her parks. Kampala hums after dusk — rooftop bars over Nakasero, live afrobeat at Cayenne and The Lawns, jazz suppers at Mediterraneo, and long Sunday brunches that drift into evening. We open private tables, host introductions, and weave a city night or two into your arc when it suits.
Nights out
Rooftops, live music, late suppers
From The Pearl Lounge and Cayenne to a candlelit dinner at Latitude or the long verandah at Emin Pasha — we hold the reservations and the driver.
Festivals & calendar
Nyege Nyege, Bayimba, Blankets & Wine
Nyege Nyege on the Nile in September, Bayimba in May, Blankets & Wine across the year, and the Kampala Art Biennale every other autumn. We time arcs around them on request.
Culture, quietly
Royal audiences, ateliers, private kitchens
An afternoon with a Kasubi historian, a tasting in a chef's home in Muyenga, an introduction to a Buganda court musician — the city, opened gently.
