African travel tailored to your dreams
Ujuzi means “expertise” in the East African language of Swahili. Over the years, we have developed a deep knowledge of African travel. We use that understanding to create customized safaris that match the unique aspirations of each traveler.
OUR PROMISE
We customize each trip with care, attentiveness, and expertise to give you an unforgettable African safari.
I founded Ujuzi African Travel in 2008 after a life-changing trip to East Africa. My mother-in-law, who had lived in Uganda, introduced me to places few tourists tread. We visited breathtaking national parks, of course, but also shared meals with her Ugandan friends and helped students practice English at a local school. It was wonderful learning about their lives.
I created Ujuzi African Travel to give others the same personalized access to African culture and wildlife. I’ll design your safari around your interests—whether you’re traveling alone, with friends or family, or with a group from your local zoo or another organization you support.
Going on safari can be a big investment and, for many, is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Let create a safari for you that will fulfill your wildest dreams!
