From 5 to 7 February 2026, the very first edition of the Holiday Festival will take place in the Brabanthallen in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, the new travel lifestyle event in the Netherlands where destinations, travel organizations and travel lifestyle brands come together to inspire, connect and celebrate the wanderlust.
One of the international participants is Mwanzo Tours Uganda, which adds a touch of East African magic to the festival and brings the unspoiled beauty and hospitality of Uganda to the Netherlands.
Mwanzo Tours Uganda specializes in tailor-made safaris, gorilla trekking, and cultural tours that immerse travelers in the heart of Uganda. From the mysterious forests of Bwindi and the savannahs of Queen Elizabeth National Park to the soothing waters of Lake Bunyonyi, every trip with Mwanzo Tours Uganda tells a story of nature, community and realness.
“We are proud to bring the beauty of Uganda to the Netherlands,” says Anthony Kiweewa of Mwanzo Tours Uganda. “Our goal is to show that Uganda is not just about wildlife, but also about people, culture and emotion. The Holiday Festival offers us the perfect stage to share our passion for responsible tourism and real encounters.”

The story of Uganda, with its unspoiled nature and warm hospitality, fits perfectly within our atmosphere of adventure and discovery.”
