All our programs in Uganda include free weekend sightseeing. (City Tours) You will also have free local language lessons. You can also join our major four to five (4-5) days sight seeing which include the safari. Contact us for the major sightseeing.
STAESA's teaching program in Uganda provides a great opportunity to work very closely with schools and vocational institutions, and it allows volunteers/interns to get direct contact with the children. Project location very safe, the community very welcoming and the kids are very lovely.
Often, volunteers/interns are provided with independent accommodation or placed with host family who live very close to the schools. Its compulsory for every child in a school to speak English. Your presence at the school as English teacher or any other subject teacher will really make the children very happy and learn to improve upon their English language skills and any other subjects that you will be teaching them.
You are really given back to the community especially the children by join our teaching program in Uganda. Get closer to the children in Uganda to have a great insight of their culture. STAESA's Teach in Africa program runs in Kampala, and the Southern part of Uganda.
Volunteers always work with mentors who check and make sure the volunteers are on track with the method of teaching. Upon your arrival at the school and before you start teaching you will be taken through the teaching method as well as the school curriculum. The total population per class is 30 to 35 kids. The staffs at the school are very friendly and the kids are so kind and lovely to work with.

PLEASE NOTE
Uganda has been described as the friendliest country globally following a survey conducted among expatriates globally, according to the BBC. ... "This East African country received the highest marks for friendliness," according to BBC' s report. But, there is real poverty like other African countries and you will soon realize that you are far richer and more fortunate than most local people you meet. You will probably attract your fair share of souvenir hawkers and beggars, but try and take the time to meet ordinary people going about their day to day business too. The experience will be worth it. Don't be afraid to step out of your house, just take some precautions.
Weather in Uganda
Uganda generally has two wet seasons and two dry seasons, with dry seasons being from December to February and June to August, while wet seasons are from March to May and September to November. March to May is wetter and warmer, while December to February is hotter and drier and it can sometimes get as hot as 96.8°F.

Kind of luggage you should take
It all begins with the right suitcases or suitcase. It also depends where you coming from.
