Engagi Safaris is a Ugandan-owned tour company with 14 years of experience designing memorable safaris across Africa. Founded in 2010 by Basiima Robert, who worked as a guide and driver for over five years, the company was built on a foundation of in-depth regional knowledge and a desire to deliver a higher standard of service for safari travelers. Today, Engagi Safaris is recognized for its expertly crafted, tailor-made itineraries that suit each client’s interests, schedule, and budget.

The word “Engagi” means “gorilla” in the Chiga language of Southwestern Uganda. Located near the renowned Virunga Mountains and Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, our company has deep roots in gorilla country. Engagi Safaris offers custom gorilla trekking tours in Uganda Rwanda and Congo, using local expertise and a commitment to conservation to create authentic wildlife experiences. Mountain gorillas, the rarest living primates, survive only in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and the Virunga Conservation Area. Tracking these magnificent animals remains one of the most sought-after adventures on any Uganda safari or Rwanda tour.

Our range of tours extends well beyond gorilla trekking. Engagi Safaris organizes immersive primate experiences, allowing travelers to encounter chimpanzees, baboons, colobus monkeys, galagos, pottos, and many other species. Classic African safaris, birdwatching expeditions, and nature tours showcase the rich biodiversity of Africa. Each journey is led by guides and drivers chosen for their extensive knowledge and enthusiasm for sharing the wonders of Africa.

In 2016, Engagi Safaris expanded its offerings with the opening of Lake Bunyonyi Rock Resort. This eco-friendly lodge, set on the tranquil shores of Lake Bunyonyi in southwestern Uganda, provides a comfortable and affordable base for exploring the region. The resort is ideal for visitors interested in gorilla trekking, golden monkey tracking, Batwa community visits, or simply enjoying the scenic beauty of Uganda’s highlands. Our dedicated staff ensure every guest receives attentive service throughout their stay.

Engagi Safaris is committed to responsible tourism and community upliftment. Our support for Ikumba Village and other local initiatives reflects our belief that tourism should benefit both travelers and the communities they visit.

Every safari with Engagi Safaris is designed to be more than a tour. It is a lasting story, shaped by local expertise, respect for wildlife, and a genuine connection to Africa’s natural heritage.
