Verdoro Safaris

See Africa through the eyes of the people who call it home.

Verdoro Safaris is a locally Ugandan-owned safari outfitter curating guided journeys across Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi and South Africa, with 5% of proceeds going to the Verdoro Charity Initiative.

From gorilla trekking and Big Five safaris to quieter moments in local villages and wild landscapes, Verdoro experiences prioritise depth, patience and real connection over rushed itineraries, with options that remain thoughtfully priced and accessible.

Travel that gives back

With every trip booked, 5% of proceeds go directly to the Verdoro Charity Initiative, supporting rural communities, people with disabilities, HIV-affected families, the elderly, and young mothers.

Tourism here is a tool for access, opportunity and dignity, ensuring local communities benefit directly from the journeys taking place on their land.

Local roots, global standards

Verdoro’s guides are locals who grew up walking these forests, learning animal behaviour through lived experience and listening to stories passed down by elders long before tourism arrived. That knowledge shapes safaris that feel informed, respectful and deeply connected to place.

Story-Driven Safaris

These are story-driven safaris built for travellers who want more than just wildlife sightings. Expect time to sit with local communities, share meals in village homes, follow ancient forest paths and observe wildlife with care.

Every route and lodge is chosen intentionally for meaning as much as beauty, with all permits, accommodation, transport and logistics fully handled so travellers can focus on being present.

Story behind Verdoro Safaris
Founded by Yiga, a Ugandan local with a dream to change the lives of local people and communities, the company grew from a desire to share the region as it is truly known, not through tourism templates, but through community, culture and long-standing relationships with nature.

That philosophy shapes every experience, blending conservation, livelihoods and storytelling throughout.
