Safaris that connect you to people & nature.
African Safari Trails is more than just a tour company, it is a dream fulfilled. We exist to create lifetime memories, guiding you through East Africa's breathtaking landscapes, wildlife, cultures and birdlife, and so many other once-in-a-lifetime experiences that began as a simple inspiration.
At African Safari Trails, we focus on creating gorilla and wildlife safaris that connect you with local communities across East Africa. Our journeys are built on real experiences, local knowledge, and respect for nature.
We work closely with local guides and communities in Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya, and Tanzania to give you a deeper understanding of each destination. From gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park to cultural visits in nearby villages, every trip supports local people.
We plan each safari based on your travel style, budget, and interests. Our team handles everything from permits and transport to accommodation and daily activities.

In our travellers' words.
I had the best experience from beginning to end, my every whim was catered to. My guide Howard was knowledgeable, kind and went above and beyond. I absolutely loved my gorilla trekking experience!
The best experience ever. Lydia and Howard looked after us from start to finish and the customer service was 5 stars. We did Queen Elizabeth Park, gorilla trekking and the Batwa community visit, a time I will never forget.
An amazing experience. Lydia planned my 7-day trip perfectly in every detail, and my driver Jack was the best guide I ever had, he even spotted a leopard up in the trees in the Ishasha Section.
