About Great Lakes Safaris
Great Lakes Safaris is among Uganda's most established tour operators, having been in operation since 2001. Founded by Amos Wekesa, a well-known figure in Ugandan tourism, the company has grown into one of the country's largest safari businesses with over 200 employees.
Headquartered in Kampala, Great Lakes Safaris designs tailor-made safari itineraries covering Uganda's major national parks and wildlife destinations. Their portfolio spans wildlife viewing, gorilla and chimpanzee tracking, cultural encounters, and adventure activities.
The company also operates Uganda Lodges, managing several accommodation properties across the country. This dual focus on both tours and lodges gives them an integrated approach to safari planning that few operators can match.
Great Lakes Safaris serves both international visitors and the growing domestic tourism market, with operations extending into Rwanda and Tanzania as well.
