Safaris Tailor-made for You

"Uganda - a must do experience" - We just recently completed a four day tour to Murchison Falls National Park from Entebbe via the city of Kampala and crossing countless townships with Kwezi Outdoors. The trip... read more was amazing, the towns, the safari, the animals but also the ever changing landscape. Yet the highlight of the tour was undoubtedly the people, their warmth and openness and hospitality. Without question our trip would not been the same without our incredible guide - Sam Wako. Never have I come across a guide with so much knowledge and so many fun facts on the land, the culture, the animals, the birds, the landscape, the food - basically on any question that arose. To top it off he was an absolute pleasure to be with.
Uganda is a must visit, a country that is unfortunately overlooked.
If and when you do decide to come, I highly recommend Sam to anyone travelling to this beautiful country.

Hikng through the Mountains of the Moon - I took a six day hike through the mountains of the moon in Uganda. This place is gorgeous! It is unspoilt and a must go for anyone who loves pristine... read more destinations. Our guide Francis from Kwezi Outdoors and the team of the porters were great and fantastic. From the time we made the inquiry they were there. Arriving at a new destination can be unsettling even for seasoned traveller but having a meet up at the airport, and staying together throughout the safari hike is so so good.

I had the pleasure of having Kwezi Outdoors plan my entire stay in Uganda. From start to finish they were able to incorporate the packed schedule of things I wanted... read more to do! From East to West and across the country, their efficiency and adaptability was everything a traveller needs in Uganda.
I highly recommend guide Sam Wako. His incredible knowledge both of the flora and fauna and of the roads, towns, and cities, and culture was invaluable. On the safari, he knew exactly which animals were around. He is a veritable encyclopedia of information about each animal and I gained so much insight from him. In the urban and rural areas, he was an invaluable guide. He knows all the shortcuts in Kampala (very important due to heavy traffic), and was able to get me to all my appointments ahead of schedule. In the rural areas, he knows all the villages, towns, and activities. He graciously adapted to changes I made in my itinerary on a daily basis (I’m easily distracted!), and found ways to still keep us on track. Sam’s knowledge of the different cultures in Uganda’s regions helped me learn so much about Uganda and truly appreciate the uniqueness of each kingdom. His professionalism and wealth of experience being a guide throughout Uganda was an invaluable resource that made all the difference and my trip a success. Thank you!

Just some of the things I packed in:

- Queen Elizabeth Nat’l Park Safari where I saw elephants, lions, hippos, water buffaloes, hyenas, warthogs, baboons, and so much more!
- Trekking in Kibale to see chimpanzees in their natural habitat(surreal!). Also very accessible to persons of all ages and abilities.
- Bungee jumping and whitewater rafting in Jinja
- Fort Portal City (my favourite city in Uganda)
- Crater Lakes and crossing the Equator
- Eating local food in every region
- Community tour in a local village in the Kingdom of Toro (a must to explore the local culture).
- Visits of Kampala: Buganda Palace, 360 view from the National Mosque minaret, crafts and arts, Buganda Parliament, shopping for specific items such as fabrics (Sam knows all the good places!).
- Road trip through Uganda. The natural beauty, forests, animals, agriculture, lakes, savannah, towns, cities, food, and music will leave you in awe.
