A fast, unforgettable introduction — trek to a habituated gorilla family in Bwindi and fly home changed.
Two countries, two gorilla treks, the snow-capped Rwenzoris and Rwanda's Lake Kivu — our most-requested combination.
Chimp tracking in Kibale, tree-climbing lions in Ishasha, and a boat cruise on the Kazinga Channel.
Private lodges, candlelit dinners and sunset cruises, woven around your own private guide.
Avents is led by CEO Resty Mbabazi, who founded the company with her husband after a career in journalism first showed her Uganda's hidden corners — the spark behind the brand's tagline, "To the Pearl and Beyond." Beyond running trips, the couple set up a charity funding school sponsorships and educational support, and the business has created employment for more than ten people locally, with an eventual goal of opening a lodge and a primary school for orphaned children.

"Booking our anniversary trip from the UK couldn't have been easier. A driver was waiting for us right at Entebbe Airport, the transfer to Kalangala was completely hassle-free, and little touches — WiFi in the vehicle, music on the drive — made it feel effortless. We're already planning our next trip, to Queen Elizabeth National Park."
