Hornbill Treks & Safaris - Pack for a Purpose

Buy Local

Hornbill Treks and Safaris offers you the option to buy the food supplies you want to donate locally in Uganda, like breakfast porridge, rice, beans, oil, salt, vegetables, and fruits. These food items help provide nourishing meals to the students. If you are interested, please contact your tour consultant or email welcome@hornbillafricansafaris.com

*Quality laptops are urgently needed at the school as we develop the school’s computer lab & technology programs. However, due to taxes on imported laptops, these are best purchased locally. To make a donation towards the school’s computer lab, please contact us at welcome@hornbillafricansafaris.com
