While Uganda remains our home and primary destination—offering unforgettable gorilla trekking, chimpanzee tracking, wildlife safaris, and cultural immersions—Kutamani Safaris also curates exceptional cross-border safari experiences:

In Kenya, we take guests deep into the world-famous Masai Mara, known for its dramatic Great Migration, thriving big cat populations, and vibrant Maasai culture.

In Tanzania, our safaris span the iconic Serengeti Plains, the Ngorongoro Crater, and the pristine beaches of Zanzibar and Tanzania’s coastal towns, where guests can unwind in barefoot luxury after days of exhilarating wildlife encounters.

In Rwanda, travellers can experience the lush Volcanoes National Park, home to the mountain gorillas, golden monkeys, and breathtaking volcanic landscapes, complemented by visits to Nyungwe Forest for chimpanzee tracking and immersive cultural encounters with local communities.

Whether it’s a classic big five safari, a romantic escape or a family friendly adventure, our itineraries are tailor made to reflect the desires and expectations of each traveler.
