Women Adventures Africa
Customized tours guided by well-trained female guides
After working in nature guiding and conservation for a few years, we identified a gap between the male and female guides in Uganda. The Women Adventures Africa started with a principle objective of offering the trained female guides employment in nature guiding, a male-dominated profession.
Nature Guiding in Uganda has for long been dominated with men and yet eco-tourism currently ranks as one of the biggest revenue earners for the country and continues to grow immensely over the years. There are generally very few women that work as nature guides in Uganda and Africa.
Giving African women a chance to earn a livelihood and provide for their families will benefit their families as well as contributing to the revenues of the country.
It will further elevate their status from what has traditionally been tagged to them as “belonging to the kitchen.” This company offers customized tours guided by well-trained female guides. It further provides a chance for women that would love to travel alone with some of our “Girls only” safaris and guided by the “Girls”.

Research
Our female guides are well equipped with skills in avian and wildlife research; an example is Judith Mirembe working on conservation of the Shoebill with local communities in Mabamba and Makanaga wetland on the shores of Lake Victoria. Our guides act as research assistants in different fields while others further guide research projects. The ladies are well trained in different research and data collection techniques such as; Mist Netting and Bird Ringing, Small mammal traps and censusing and we continue to give them exposure as they develop more skills. There is no such joy as giving back to society, our guides participate in volunteer programmes such as Citizen Science where they participate in the Common Bird Monitoring (CBM)
