About Us
About Us
We are an American travel company proudly incorporated in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and founded by the Bukenya family, whose roots run deep in East Africa — Uganda and Rwanda.
This unique blend of African heritage and American professionalism allows us to deliver luxury, immersive guided tours that are both culturally authentic and expertly managed.
We specialize in thoughtfully curated journeys across East Africa, offering end-to-end chaperoning from departure to return — ensuring comfort, safety, and seamless coordination at every stage.
Working closely with trusted local guides and lodges, we create meaningful experiences that respect local traditions, support communities, and promote sustainable tourism.
With a Money-Back Guarantee and uncompromising service standards, you can book with confidence.
Founders' Message
We are Joseph Bukenya from Uganda and Sandra Uwase from Rwanda — a husband-and-wife team creating authentic East African safaris for American travelers.
Raised in the heart of East Africa and later living in the United States, we understand both African culture and American travel expectations. This allows us to design safaris that are safe, comfortable, and thoughtfully curated to suit your time and budget.
As a family-owned safari company, we specialize in private guided journeys across Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya, and Tanzania — combining wildlife, culture, and genuine local connection.
With us, you don’t just visit Africa — you experience it through the eyes of those who call it home.
You arrive as a guest. You return home as family — with a fascinating African tale.
