About Ngoni Safaris
Authentic African Journeys, Designed Around You
Ngoni Safaris Uganda is a Uganda-based tour operator specialising in private, tailor-made safaris across Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya and Tanzania. We create memorable journeys for travellers who want to experience East Africa’s wildlife, landscapes, cultures and primates with knowledgeable local support.
From trekking mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park to watching lions on the plains of the Serengeti, cruising along the Nile at Murchison Falls or relaxing on the beaches of Zanzibar, every Ngoni Safaris journey is carefully planned around the traveller.
We organise complete safari packages for couples, families, solo travellers, groups and travel partners. Our services can include accommodation, private transportation, professional driver-guides, park entrance fees, gorilla and chimpanzee permits, activities, domestic flights and airport transfers.
Our goal is simple: to make travelling through East Africa comfortable, safe, well organised and genuinely rewarding.
Our Story
Ngoni Safaris was established from a deep passion for Uganda’s wildlife, people and natural beauty. As a locally based safari company, we understand the destinations we offer and maintain close relationships with guides, lodges, activity providers and local communities.
We believe that an excellent safari is about more than visiting famous national parks. It is about the excitement of seeing wildlife in its natural habitat, meeting local people, travelling through changing landscapes and enjoying the small moments that make every journey unique.
Our team takes time to understand each traveller’s interests, budget, preferred travel style and available time. We then use this information to create a personalised itinerary that balances adventure, comfort, travel time and value.
Whether you are visiting East Africa for the first time or returning for another adventure, we are ready to help you experience the region with confidence.

Kenya can be visited as a stand-alone destination or combined with Uganda, Rwanda or Tanzania.
Our Safari Experiences
Gorilla and Chimpanzee Trekking
Primate trekking is one of East Africa’s most powerful wildlife experiences. Ngoni Safaris helps travellers plan every part of the journey, including securing permits, choosing the appropriate trekking sector, arranging accommodation and providing private transportation.
We offer gorilla trekking in Uganda and Rwanda, as well as chimpanzee trekking and habituation experiences in Uganda. Before departure, our guests receive practical advice about fitness, clothing, porters, trekking conditions and what to expect in the forest.
Wildlife Safaris
Our wildlife safaris are conducted in comfortable 4×4 safari vehicles with professional driver-guides. Game drives are planned around the best wildlife-viewing periods, while boat cruises and nature walks add variety to the experience.
Depending on the destination, travellers may encounter lions, leopards, elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, rhinos, hippos, crocodiles, zebras, antelopes and an extraordinary variety of birdlife.
Adventure and Active Travel
For travellers who enjoy more active holidays, we can include mountain hiking, cycling, horse-riding, white-water rafting, walking safaris and community experiences.
Each activity is selected according to the traveller’s interests, fitness level and preferred level of adventure.
Beach Extensions
A safari can be combined with time on the beaches of Zanzibar, the Kenyan coast or the Seychelles. We can arrange flights, airport transfers, accommodation and selected beach activities to create one seamless holiday.
Why Travel with Ngoni Safaris?
Personalised Itineraries
Every traveller is different. We design itineraries around your interests, travel dates, budget, preferred accommodation standard and desired pace.
Local Destination Knowledge
Being based in Uganda gives us first-hand knowledge of the destinations, roads, seasons, lodges and activities we recommend. This helps us create realistic itineraries and respond quickly when assistance is required.
Private Safari Vehicles
Most of our tailor-made safaris use a private 4×4 Toyota Land Cruiser with a pop-up roof for wildlife viewing and photography. Private travel gives guests greater flexibility, personal space and control over the pace of their journey.

We consider location, cleanliness, comfort, service, food quality and access to activities when recommending accommodation.

A good guide can transform a safari. Our driver-guides are selected for their experience, destination knowledge, wildlife awareness and commitment to guest care.
They assist throughout the journey and provide valuable insight into the wildlife, landscapes and cultures of East Africa.
