About Ekibungo Tours and Safaris

EKIBUNGU TOURS AND SAFARISWe are a community-oriented tour company, locally owned and situated in the heart of Kabale, Uganda. Our enthusiasm is centered on sharing the unspoiled beauty and rich cultural heritage of the Kigezi highlands and the renowned Lake Bunyonyi—often referred to as the "Switzerland of Africa" due to its terraced hills and tranquil, island-studded waters. As dedicated members of this community, every experience we provide is crafted not only to highlight our home but also to safeguard it and uplift the local residents. Focusing on eco-friendly, cultural, and nature-based adventures, we encourage you to move away from traditional tourism and immerse yourself in a realm where each journey leaves a beneficial impact. Whether you are gliding quietly across Lake Bunyonyi in a hand-carved canoe, binoculars ready for bird watching among over 200 species (including the notable herons and kingfishers), or trekking along misty highland paths with expansive views of lush green hills, you will sense the pulse of a land that remains both wild and welcoming. Our guided village walks lead you through lively local markets, banana plantations, and quaint homesteads where elders recount tales passed down through the ages. You will experience traditional cultural displays—dynamic drumming, colorful dances, and songs that resonate with the history of the Bakiga and Batwa peoples. For those desiring a deeper connection, we provide interactive experiences such as community cooking classes, craft workshops, and visits to healers and blacksmiths. From dawn hikes to evening drumming circles, every activity is conducted by local guides whose expertise and pride in their culture transform a simple outing into a cherished memory. We are more than just a tour company—we are your neighbors, storytellers, and guardians of this stunning region in southwestern Uganda. Join us in exploration, and depart with more than just photographs: depart with a feeling of belonging.
