About Kwezi Outdoors

Kwezi means “moon”. The name is inspired by our trek into the Rwenzori Mountains – Uganda’s highest and Africa’s third highest mountain. Ancient Greek geographer and philosopher, Ptolemy, in his search for the source of the Nile River, called these mysterious ranges the Mountains of the Moon.

Sustainable Travel

Today at Kwezi Outdoors, we share a love and respect for the great outdoors and wild places of Uganda. Yet even though we are passionate about the outdoors, we know that there are negative environmental impacts that can stem from our travel and explorations. That is why we support a variety of initiatives that economically and socially empower communities; promote the dignity and honour of the locals; and participate in the ongoing fight to save and improve our planet in whatever small way we can. 

So every time you travel with us, rest assured that your safari experience helps transform the lives of families and communities – positively.
