Who We Are

Our Story

At Choose Uganda Safaris, we believe that travel is more than just movement — it’s about connection, transformation, and discovery. We’re not just here to show you Uganda; we’re here to help you feel it, live it, and carry it with you forever.

Our story began long before 2025, the year Choose Uganda Safaris was officially born. It started on dusty safari trails, in warm conversations around campfires, and behind the scenes of Uganda’s top tour companies — where our founder, a dedicated tour consultant, digital marketer, and reservations specialist, spent years crafting unforgettable adventures for travelers from around the world.

But something was missing.

After helping others build their dreams, it was time to bring a personal vision to life — a vision rooted in authenticity, care, and local expertise. That’s how Choose Uganda Safaris came to be: from a deep love of the Pearl of Africa and a desire to offer more meaningful, immersive journeys that connect people not just to places, but to purpose.

Our Ethos

At Choose Uganda Safaris, we believe that the most meaningful travel experiences come from true connection — with the land, its people, and their stories. That’s why we invite you to explore Uganda not as a tourist, but as a welcomed guest, guided by those who know this country best — its own people.

Our handpicked, English-speaking local guides aren’t just professionals — they’re passionate storytellers, cultural ambassadors, and conservation advocates. They live and breathe Uganda, and they’re eager to share its breathtaking landscapes, diverse wildlife, and vibrant traditions with you in ways that go far beyond the surface.

We also believe travel should be a force for good.

That’s why we are deeply committed to responsible, sustainable tourism. We ensure that your journey leaves a positive impact — not only on the environment, but also in the communities you visit. The majority of your safari investment stays within Uganda, directly supporting local economies, families, and grassroots initiatives.

Whether you’re tracking mountain gorillas in the misty forests of Bwindi, meeting artisans in a remote village, or watching elephants roam the savannah at sunset, you can do so knowing that your presence contributes to a bigger purpose.

Our Team

We’re more than just a team — we’re a family. Brought together by a shared love for travel, adventure, and Uganda’s incredible natural beauty, we work hand in hand to deliver safari experiences that are both seamless and soulful.

Each member of our team brings something unique to the table — from expert tour guides who know every hidden trail and wildlife corridor, to itinerary planners, digital storytellers, and reservations specialists who make sure every journey is perfectly tailored from the moment you reach out.

We pride ourselves on having some of the most passionate and knowledgeable people in the industry — professionals who care deeply about what they do and are genuinely excited to share the best of Uganda with every traveler who joins us.

We know that every journey is a special chapter in your life, and we’re here to make yours unforgettable. Whether it’s your first time in Africa or a return to the wild, we’ll help you experience Uganda in a way that’s authentic, personal, and full of wonder.
