Your Trusted DMC Partner in Uganda & East Africa
Kikooko Africa Safaris
Crafting exceptional travel experiences since 2013, with local expertise and a commitment to sustainable tourism that benefits communities across Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Madagascar.

Welcome to Uganda, the beating heart of East Africa, where misty mountain forests harbor rare gorillas, vast savannahs teem with wildlife, and the mighty Nile creates spectacular waterfalls that echo through ancient valleys. Here, in this land of extraordinary natural beauty, Kikooko Africa Safaris invites you to discover experiences that will forever change how you see the world.
Founded in 2013 by Warren Rutanga, Kikooko Africa Safaris grew from a profound desire to share Uganda's remarkable treasures with international travelers. The name "Kikooko" (pronounced "chick-oh-ko") means "animal" in Rukiga, the language of the Bakiga people who inhabit Uganda's stunning highlands. This name perfectly embodies our passion for Uganda's incredible biodiversity and our commitment to protecting it for generations to come.
