Who We Are

A local team shaping journeys across East and Central Africa

Inganzo Safaris is based in Uganda, at the heart of a region that holds some of the world's last mountain gorillas, expansive savannah parks and living cultural traditions. We work across Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya, Tanzania, Burundi and DR Congo, helping travellers move through this landscape with a team that knows it well.

Our focus is East and Central Africa in its full range — gorilla and chimpanzee trekking in the forested west, wildlife safaris on the open plains, highland hikes, birding trails and encounters with local communities. Every itinerary we build draws on first-hand knowledge of the parks, the roads between them and the small details that make a trip run smoothly.

Where We Operate

Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya, Tanzania, Burundi and DR Congo, including cross-border safari routes.

What We Specialise In

Gorilla and chimpanzee trekking, wildlife safaris and tailor-made itineraries.

Our Approach

Every itinerary starts with a conversation

We plan around the traveller, not a fixed package. That means understanding what matters to you before we suggest a single route.

Interests

What You Want to See

Primates, big game, birdlife, culture or a mix — we start with what draws you to the region.

Budget

What Fits Your Trip

We plan within a realistic budget, being clear about what each option includes.

Dates

When You Can Travel

Stay

Accommodation Style

From simple lodges to more comfortable stays, matched to how you like to travel.

Our Guides & Local Team

People who know these parks well

Our guides and local team are based in the countries we operate in and spend their time on the ground — in the forests, on the savannah trails and along the routes between parks. They handle the details of each day: permits, timing, wildlife tracking and clear communication with travellers throughout the trip.

Behind every safari is a local operations team coordinating logistics, transport and accommodation, so that plans made in advance hold up once you're on the road.
