Why Adventurous Couples Are Choosing Uganda for Their Honeymoon
Packing smart for your honeymoon in Uganda ensures you’re ready for everything from gorilla trekking to sunset safaris.
At Sparks Museum and Event Center, we believe love is meant to be lived boldly. Our venue attracts couples who want more than tradition—they want connection, adventure, and stories worth telling. That same spirit makes Uganda one of our top picks for a honeymoon for adventurous couples.
This isn’t your average romantic getaway. This is wild Africa—where you hike into misty forests to encounter mountain gorillas, go on safaris to spot lions and elephants, and fall asleep to the sounds of nature under a canopy of stars.

Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi: An Unforgettable Honeymoon Memory
Experience a once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon adventure by tracking endangered mountain gorillas in Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable Forest.
One of the most unique honeymoon experiences on Earth is found deep in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, home to nearly half of the world’s endangered mountain gorillas. With a limited number of permits issued daily, this once-in-a-lifetime trek is both intimate and powerful.Expect a challenging (but doable) hike through dense jungle terrain. The payoff? Sitting just feet away from a silverback or a baby and his family in their natural habitat. It's humbling, awe-inspiring, and incredibly romantic in the most unexpected way.
Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is magically romantic despite the adventure it can bring.
