About Tarec Gorilla Safaris

At Tarec Gorilla Safaris, we believe that the greatest journeys are not measured by the miles traveled but by the memories created along the way. We are a locally owned and operated safari company based in Entebbe, Uganda, specializing in unforgettable gorilla trekking adventures, wildlife safaris, chimpanzee tracking, cultural experiences, and tailor-made tours across Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya, Tanzania, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Our passion goes far beyond planning holidays. We introduce travelers to the heart of East Africa through authentic experiences, expert local knowledge, and a genuine commitment to conservation. Whether you dream of standing face-to-face with a family of endangered mountain gorillas in the misty forests of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, watching elephants gather along the Kazinga Channel in Queen Elizabeth National Park, tracking chimpanzees through Kibale Forest National Park, or witnessing the Great Migration across the Serengeti and Maasai Mara, we are here to make your safari extraordinary. Every itinerary we create is carefully designed around your interests, travel style, and budget. From the moment you contact us until the day you return home, our experienced team works closely with you to ensure every detail of your journey is seamless, comfortable, and memorable. Who We Are Tarec Gorilla Safaris was founded with one simple mission to share the beauty, wildlife, and cultures of East Africa through responsible, personalized, and professionally guided safari experiences. Unlike international travel agencies that sell destinations from thousands of miles away, we live here. We travel these roads every week, explore these national parks throughout the year, and work directly with local guides, lodges, conservation organizations, and wildlife authorities. Our firsthand knowledge allows us to provide honest advice, reliable planning, and experiences that simply cannot be replicated by companies operating from outside Africa. Being locally based also means we understand the changing seasons, wildlife movements, road conditions, and hidden attractions that many visitors never discover on their own. Our recommendations come from personal experience rather than brochures, enabling us to design safaris that maximize every moment of your adventure. You can learn more about when to visit in our guide to gorilla tours in Uganda. Today, we proudly welcome solo travelers, couples, families, photographers, honeymooners, researchers, student groups, and luxury travelers from around the world, helping each guest experience East Africa in a meaningful and unforgettable way. Our Story Every great safari begins with a story, and so does ours. Tarec Gorilla Safaris was born from years of experience working within Uganda’s tourism industry and a deep appreciation for the extraordinary wildlife that makes East Africa one of the world’s greatest safari destinations. Our founder recognized that many travelers wanted more than a standard package holiday. They wanted authentic experiences, knowledgeable local guides, honest advice, and the opportunity to connect with Africa beyond the typical tourist route. That vision became the foundation of Tarec Gorilla Safaris. Starting as a small local company, we focused on delivering personalized service rather than large volumes of bookings. We believed every safari should reflect the individual traveler, not a fixed itinerary copied for hundreds of guests. That philosophy remains at the heart of everything we do today. Over the years, we have built trusted relationships with experienced ranger guides, carefully selected lodges, conservation partners, community organizations, and tourism authorities across Uganda and Rwanda. These partnerships allow us to create seamless safari experiences while supporting conservation efforts and local communities that protect the landscapes our guests come to explore. Although our company continues to grow, our commitment remains unchanged to provide exceptional safaris built on trust, professionalism, integrity, and genuine East African hospitality.
