Volcanoes Safaris update on report of unrest in the DRC 17 July 2013
There have been reports of Congolese refugees entering Uganda after recent unrest in the town of Kamango in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
The refugees are currently being cared for by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and other organisations.
We are continuing to monitor the situation on a regular basis and will inform clients/agents of any developments. Travel to all areas of Uganda is proceeding normally. The refugees are in the border area and far from tourist areas.
We look forward to welcoming guests on safari to Uganda. Please get in touch with your sales consultant if you have any queries.
