A locally owned team in Kampala

Verdoro Safaris is a locally owned, community-driven tour operator, proudly based in Uganda, the Pearl of Africa. We plan gorilla treks, Nile journeys and savanna safaris, and we stay with you from your first message to your flight home.

Who we are

Six people in Kampala, one trip at a time

Verdoro Safaris is a locally owned tour operator based in Kampala, and it has been planning trips since 2021. The same small team plans your trip, answers your messages and arranges your airport pickup.

Our journeys reach across Uganda, Rwanda and Zambia, with Kenya, Tanzania, Burundi and South Africa planned on request. They include meetings with the mountain gorillas of Bwindi, the Nile at Murchison Falls, and cultural exchanges with the communities who live near these parks.

We shape each itinerary around how you like to travel and how much time you have, and we say plainly what a long road day or a steep forest trek will be like.

Our guides and drivers lead your days on the road, and our travel specialists stay in touch from your first enquiry to your departure.

Mission and vision

What we are here to do

Our mission

We plan and run safaris that suit the people travelling, with quality, professionalism and a personal touch. Our office team and field guides help you get permits, book accommodation, and arrange transport and guiding for the whole trip.

Our vision

We want to become the leading tour company in East Africa while backing projects that improve life for communities near game reserves and parks. We look for partnerships that improve our service and inspire people to protect nature. We work with individuals and volunteer organisations, and we run mission trips that work alongside communities in East Africa.
