Bamboo Ecotours

Bamboo Ecotours stands out as one of the few Uganda tour operators based in the southwest — in Kisoro, close to both Bwindi and Mgahinga national parks. Founded in 2012, the company puts sustainability and community involvement at the center of everything they do.

Being based near the gorilla parks rather than in Kampala gives Bamboo Ecotours a ground-level advantage. They have direct relationships with local communities, guides, and lodges in the Bwindi-Kisoro corridor, which translates into more authentic experiences for their guests.

Their offerings include gorilla trekking, wildlife safaris across Uganda's major parks, and community-based tourism initiatives. The company has received multiple recognition awards for their approach to responsible tourism.

Bamboo Ecotours caters to travelers who want more than a standard safari — those looking for genuine connections with the people and landscapes of southwestern Uganda. Their eco-friendly ethos extends to lodge selection, transport, and the way they structure community visits.
