Cultural Challenge

In collaboration with Jjaja Bbanga Community Organization (JBCO), Grassrootz Adventures gives travellers the chance to discover Uganda culture through the Kyalo Challenge (Village Challenge). Experience life in the Ugandan countryside by participating in the daily activities of the village, with guidance and explanations from the local staff.

Some example activities


  • Slashing (mowing grass with a metal scythe)
  • Digging (on the land)
  • Fetching water (fetching water from the the pump/source)
  • Splitting fire wood (for cooking)
  • Harvesting food from the garden
  • Preparing a local meal
  • Cultural Dance
  • Trees Planting
  • Sporting activities such as a football match with the locals
  • Running Contest

Discover Uganda Culture

This immersive experience allows you to discover Uganda culture firsthand: join daily village activities, cook local meals, fetch water, learn crafts, and share stories with the community. Each moment helps bridge cultures and build understanding between visitors and locals.

Grassrootz Adventures believes that true travel is about connection. Through the Cultural Challenge, cultures meet not as tourists and hosts, but as equals — learning from each other on a deeper level. It’s a chance to experience authentic Ugandan life, form meaningful friendships, and return home with a new perspective on the world.
