Our Story
Samba Tours & Travel was born from a deep love for Uganda's extraordinary landscapes and rich cultural heritage. Founded in 2016 by a group of passionate local guides and travel enthusiasts, we set out with a simple mission: to share the magic of the "Pearl of Africa" with travelers from around the world.
What started as a small operation in Kampala has grown into one of Uganda's most trusted tour operators. We've built our reputation on delivering authentic, sustainable, and unforgettable experiences that go beyond typical tourism. Every journey we craft tells a story – of incredible wildlife encounters, breathtaking landscapes, vibrant cultures, and the warm hospitality that Uganda is famous for.
Today, we're proud to be a locally-owned company that employs over 25 people, supports numerous local communities, and continues to set the standard for responsible tourism in East Africa. Our commitment to excellence has earned us recognition from international travel organizations and, more importantly, the trust of hundreds of satisfied travelers.
