About Us
Nturo Safaris: Unforgettable African Journeys
At Nturo Safaris, we believe that the best journeys are the ones that leave you with stories you’ll tell for years. Whether you’re standing a few meters away from a family of mountain gorillas, watching elephants gather along the Kazinga Channel, or sharing a meal with a local community, we want every moment to feel genuine, personal, and unforgettable.
We are a proudly Ugandan-owned tour company based in Kisoro, the gateway to some of East Africa’s most incredible wildlife destinations. Living and working in this region means we know it far beyond the guidebooks. These forests, mountains, lakes, and communities are part of our everyday lives, and we’re passionate about sharing them with travelers from around the world.
Our specialty is creating memorable safaris across Uganda, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. We also offer standard Safari Extensions to Kenya, Tanzania and Burundi. From gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park to chimpanzee tracking, wildlife safaris, birdwatching tours, cultural experiences, and tailor-made adventures, every itinerary is carefully planned around your interests, travel style, and budget.
What makes Nturo Safaris different isn’t just where we take you, it’s how we do it. We believe travel should benefit everyone involved. That’s why we work closely with local guides, drivers, accommodation providers, and community projects, ensuring tourism creates real opportunities for the people who call these destinations home.
As a registered and licensed Ugandan tour operator, we are committed to responsible tourism and high-quality service. We also dedicate a portion of our revenue to supporting community initiatives around Bwindi, Mgahinga, and neighboring areas, including education, clean water projects, healthcare, and small business development. Every safari you book helps create a positive impact beyond the parks.
Our office in Kisoro, just a short distance from the Uganda–Rwanda border, allows us to organize seamless gorilla trekking tours from both Entebbe and Kigali. Whether you’re visiting Uganda for the first time or returning to discover more of East Africa, we’ll make sure your journey is smooth, safe, and filled with unforgettable experiences.
At Nturo Safaris, you’re not just another booking. You’re our guest, and we look forward to welcoming you to the places we proudly call home.

Our Accommodations: Seamless stays in Uganda & Rwanda
We proudly offer our own accommodations to provide guests with comfortable, affordable, and authentic stays before and after their adventures. In Uganda, guests can relax at Iliba Guest House in Kisoro, an ideal base for gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park. In Rwanda, we welcome travelers to Green Nest Homestay in Kigali, offering a peaceful and convenient stay for arrivals, departures, and gorilla trekking tours starting from Rwanda.
Beyond our own properties, we have built strong partnerships with carefully selected eco-lodges, safari camps, and luxury lodges across Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya, Tanzania, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Every accommodation we recommend has been personally vetted by our team for its quality, comfort, hospitality, safety, and commitment to sustainable tourism.
