About Amatsiko Tours

“We want to show you the beauty of our people and places—not just as tourists, but as friends.

– Alex, Amatsiko Tours Founder

Your Journey with Amatsiko Tours

Imagine trekking through the heart of Uganda, coming face to face with majestic mountain gorillas, and sharing a meal with the people who call this place home. At Amatsiko Tours, it’s not just about what you’ll see—it’s about how you’ll connect. Your adventure with us will introduce you to the real Uganda, where every experience is a chance to make a lasting difference.

When you travel with us, you’re not just a visitor—you’re a part of something bigger. Founded by Alex and Alphonse, Amatsiko Tours was born out of a desire to give travellers like you a deeper, more meaningful experience. After starting Amatsiko Preparatory School for over 400 vulnerable students, many of whom are orphans, they realised that tourism could do more than just show you the sights. It could change lives—yours and the people you meet.

Every trip with Amatsiko Tours offers:

  • A deeper connection: Stay with local families, share meals, and experience Uganda’s heart and soul. It’s more than sightseeing—it’s about building real connections.

  • Wildlife encounters that matter: Trekking with gorillas helps support conservation efforts to protect their natural habitat.
  • Empowering local communities: Your trip creates jobs and opportunities, ensuring that local communities benefit from your visit.

Your adventure doesn’t just leave a mark on you—it leaves a positive impact on the communities you visit.
