Living in Kenya, I believe it is so easy to convince travelers of East Africa: beautiful all year round weather, rich culture, friendly people, wildlife, Sunday beaches, beautiful landscape  … and the list goes on and on. I am a specialist in planning safaries and travel experiences,  particularly those promoting sustainable tourism. I am also well-travelled both locally and internationally and this makes it easier to understand different cultures and needs. 

Our travel agency operates in many countries in East Africa, as well as Madagascar. We have local operations on the ground and also a 24/7 emergency phone number for all travelers in case of any incidents. We believe that East Africa is a diamond in the raw and we’re enthusiastic about sharing this gem with the world. We offer high-end safaris as well as personalized cultural tours. Multi-country itineraries are possible and our highlight trips include close up wildlife encounters in Uganda and Kenya. 

Our tours are best suited to those looking for a safari & cultural experiences with everything taken care of for them.

FAQs About Our Local Travel Experts in Uganda

What’s the difference between a local expert and a travel agent?
Our local experts actually live in the country you want to visit - they’re not just selling trips, they’re sharing real knowledge. While a traditional travel agent might rely on third-party info, our experts know what’s open, what’s worth seeing, and how to avoid the crowds. They’ll plan your trip based on what works right now, using their own network of trusted guides, hotels, and local experiences.
