🇸🇪Från Sverige
Uganda, written for the Swedish traveller who values quiet.
From Stockholm, Uganda is one connection and a wholly different rhythm. We design private journeys for Swedish travellers who prefer space, silence, and considered pacing — usually a fortnight, written in private around the people and season you have in mind.
The Practical Brief
The journey, in plain terms
Everything a Swedish 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 ARN via Doha (Qatar), Istanbul (Turkish), Addis Ababa (Ethiopian), and Amsterdam (KLM). Total flying time from eleven hours. We hold the quietest pairings and meet you at Entebbe by name.
02
Visas
Swedish passport holders apply online for a Uganda e-visa (US$50). For Rwanda and Kenya in the same arc, the East African Tourist Visa (US$100, three countries, ninety days) is the quieter route.
03
Best season for Swedish travellers
June through September aligns with the Swedish summer and Uganda's drier season. December and January are warm and a quiet reprieve from the long dark.
04
How long to come
Twelve to sixteen nights is the considered minimum. Most Swedish travellers compose a fortnight — gorillas, plains, the Nile, and quieter nights to land and to close.
05
Currency
The Uganda Shilling. US dollars (crisp, 2013 or later) are widely accepted at lodges. Krona is not easily exchanged — bring USD or use cards.
06
Safety
Uganda is calm and welcoming. We follow UD advisories, move with private vehicles and vetted guides, and provide twenty-four-hour ground support throughout.
The Honest Questions
What Swedish travellers actually ask
01Is the journey too far?

Is the journey too far?
No — but it deserves time. A fortnight is the unhurried minimum we recommend.
02How private is the experience?
+
How private is the experience?
Entirely. Every vehicle, guide and lodge is held in your name. No shared transfers.
03Can we combine with Rwanda?
+
Can we combine with Rwanda?
Often the loveliest answer — a single gorilla family in Rwanda, then the wider arc through Uganda.

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.
