About Us

OUR COMPANY

The Uganda Safari Company (TUSC), operating since 1993, is a Destination Management Company (DMC), offering a full service for high-end safaris in Uganda. We are a part of Wildplaces Africa that is owned and managed by people with a true love for the country and a deep-rooted commitment to the preservation of Uganda’s wild places.

The Wildplaces Africa group also comprises three high-end properties: Apoka Safari Lodge (Kidepo Valley National Park – Northern Uganda) | Clouds Mountain Gorilla Lodge (Southern Bwindi – Western Uganda) | (Semliki Valley Wildlife Reserve – Western Uganda).

For our property portfolio, we sought the pockets of Uganda that still remain wild and secret. In these tracts of glorious wilderness we have built small, fantastically comfortable safari lodges and camps. At our properties you won’t be jostling for space at the buffet table, you won’t be queuing with other vehicles for a glimpse of a lion or a herd of elephants.

Our award-winning lodges are intimate, private and unique. Service is gentle and discreet. We hire from the local community and are active in building community projects. Everything we do has conservation at its heart.

We focus many itineraries around the Wildplaces Africa properties as they are of the finest quality in Uganda, but also contract with other top accommodation suppliers in Uganda that meet our standards and expectations. Conducted by our talented safari guides in comfortable vehicles or combined with charter or scheduled flights, TUSC personalises safaris to combine luxury, style, service and authenticity to provide wonderful adventure, outstanding scenery and an unforgettable experience. We focus on exclusive, high-end, individualised travel… Gorilla tracking, walking safaris, photographic safaris, balloon safaris, helicopter safaris, birding safaris… cultural tours, hiking expeditions, fishing safaris, working holidays…Our main office is situated in Bugolobi, Kampala, a leafy suburb a little away from the hustle and bustle of the centre of town. This is our hub, where all reservations, marketing, vehicle maintenance, accounting, purchasing and other logistics for the group take place. The passion and dedication of the team is palpable when visiting our office; and many a day and night is spent strategizing and planning together, with the sole focus of promoting tourism to the country we love.
