Uganda-Owned and Operated
Our business is based in Kampala. Permits, lodges and guides are managed by people who live in the country and operate in it daily. Not a European desk selling Africa.
Direct Permit Access
We purchase Uganda Wildlife Authority and Rwanda Development Board permits directly. No intermediary costs. No third-party delays. Availability visible in real time.
True Net Rates
Partner rates are genuine net prices with your margin applied on top. No hidden markups buried in the ground cost. Transparent line-item proposals every time.
Fully Flexible Product
We build every itinerary from scratch based on your client's actual needs. No fixed departures, no group programmes, no schedule compromises.
White Label Ready
All proposals, vouchers and documentation produced in your brand if required. We stay invisible. Your client relationship is protected.
German-Speaking Support
Our team includes German-speaking staff and partners servicing the DACH market specifically. Proposals in German available on request.

What Our Agency Partners Say
“Savannah Explore Africa have been our Uganda and Rwanda ground partner for three years. Their gorilla permit handling is the most reliable in the market. We have never had a permit fail.”
“The 24-hour proposal turnaround is what keeps us coming back. Our clients ask difficult questions and Ben's team answers them with the kind of operational specificity that builds confidence.”
“We switched our entire Uganda product to Savannah Explore two years ago. The guide quality is significantly above what we were receiving from our previous ground operator.”
