Trip Overview
On this trip, you’ll explore Latitude Trade Company’s fermentary and farms, and get to visit with the smallholder farmers with whom Latitude works. And considering we’ll be in Uganda, the trip would not be complete without trekking to see chimps.
Our Uganda trip totals seven days, including arrival and departure days. The trip involves a fair bit of driving to see all the aspects of the value chain, but the time in vehicles is absolutely worth it!

- Visit Latitude Trade’s fermentary in Kasese
- Taste fresh cacao pods
- Visit Latitude Trade’s factory (includes private chocolate tasting)
