Yes — Uganda is generally a very safe country to visit, especially when traveling with an organized tour like ours. On our trips, you’ll be with trusted private guides and drivers who know the areas well, so you can focus on enjoying your adventure.

As with any destination, it’s wise to take basic precautions: avoid exploring cities like Kampala or Entebbe alone at night, keep valuables secure and close to you, skip wearing flashy jewelry, and store important documents such as passports in your hotel safe. Follow these simple tips, and you’ll be free to enjoy Uganda’s beauty and warm hospitality with peace of mind.

Every trip with Amatsiko Tours is designed to be more than a holiday — it’s a meaningful connection to Uganda. We blend unforgettable experiences like gorilla trekking, game drives, and cultural encounters with the knowledge that your visit directly supports local communities. A portion of every booking funds education through Amatsiko Preparatory School and community projects like clean water and sustainable farming. You’ll travel with warm, knowledgeable local guides, enjoy carefully chosen accommodations, and leave knowing your journey has made a real difference.

Absolutely. At Amatsiko Tours, we believe every journey should be as unique as the traveler. We start by listening to your interests, travel style, and must-see moments, then design an itinerary that fits you perfectly. You can build your trip from scratch or use one of our popular tours as inspiration — either way, our team will fine-tune every detail so your Uganda adventure feels truly your own.

Yes! Uganda offers the chance to see the Big Five — lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino — along with plenty of other incredible wildlife. On safari, you might also spot hyenas, hippos, zebras, the unique Ugandan kob, and over 1,000 bird species in every shape and color. And if you love primates, you’re in the right place: Uganda’s forests are home to 24 species of monkeys, from nocturnal galagos to striking blue monkeys — and, of course, the unforgettable mountain gorilla.
