We supplement our expertise with regional guides, such as the native Batwa forest dwellers in Buhoma and Mgahinga.
We are experts in ‘experiential tourism and community-based tourism. Our guides have traveled across East Africa to find some fantastic community initiatives:
The Gorilla Highlands project in Kabale, south western Uganda; Deo the farmer’s Homestead and elephant trench in Ishasha, Queen Elizabeth National Park; The Ruboni Community at the foothills of the splendid Rwenzori Mountains and The brilliant Bigodi Swamp Walk, managed by the Kibale Association for Rural Environmental Development.
Visitors love these projects – and we are sure you will too!
In addition to supporting the best community tourism projects, Around Africa Safaris’ corporate social responsibilities extend to support the education of several children at Nkuringo Orphanage in south western Uganda.
Look closely at our logo and you will see how much we treasure the rhino!
The Black Rhinoceros and the White Rhinoceros once roamed Uganda’s savannah. Tragically, armed conflict and poaching wiped out both species by 1982. Uganda’s Ziwa Rhino sanctuary – a regular feature on Around Africa itineraries- was established to reintroduce rhinos and is the only location in Uganda where rhinos can be observed in their natural habitat. Six rhinos were imported from overseas; to date Ziwa’s rhinos have produced nine baby rhinos.
“Our roots are in Africa – the best way to appreciate this is to share it, honor it, and realize its value.”
