Sports Tourism is one of the successful tourism niches globally and Uganda’s effort to tap into it is welcome.

A range of world sportsmen are now looking at Uganda to support talent development, tournaments and destination promotion.

Uganda tour activities that were engaged in by the FC Legends including white water rafting and gorilla trekking have gained credible attention world over.
