Experience authentic community tourism with a heart-warming visit to the Rubona Basket Weavers, a talented group of local women preserving one of Uganda's most beautiful traditional crafts.
Spend the day alongside the women as they share the stories behind their intricate handwoven baskets and how the craft has transformed their lives through income, education, and opportunity — then try your hand at weaving your own basket using locally harvested natural fibres.
Arrive at the Rubona Basket Weavers' workshop in the countryside near Fort Portal and meet the women's cooperative over a warm welcome.
Listen to the stories behind their intricate handwoven baskets and the cultural significance of the craft, before rolling up your sleeves for a hands-on weaving lesson using locally harvested natural fibres.
Enjoy an optional traditional local lunch with the women before returning to Fort Portal with your own handwoven creation.
