Despite the best efforts of COVID -19, Let's Go Travel continues to work hard to offer all of our tourists a truly unique and immersive safari experience. One of the ways we do this is to seek out new lodges and activities that we believe showcase the best of what Uganda has to offer as a tourist destination. Have a look at some of the recent additions to the Uganda Safari Scene.
