About Tranquil Safaris

We plan from Kamwokya in Kampala, working alongside the communities our routes pass through, with guides who are as much storytellers as drivers. There are 116 itineraries on this site across 12 countries and 40 parks and reserves — every one written out day by day, and every one able to be rebuilt around the way you actually want to travel, including the Rwanda trips above.

What you can check

Why travel with Tranquil Safaris?

116 itineraries are published on this site, across 12 destinations; 49 of them run through Uganda, where the company is based and licensed. Any one of them can be read in full — the route, the parks, the nights — before you speak to anybody. What follows is the case for using us, and not one line of it asks you to take our word for it.

  1. The whole trip is written down first

    Every trip of four days or more is set out one day at a time: where the day goes, what happens in it, where the night is spent. The one-, two- and three-day trips are written up in full as prose instead. Nothing is held back until you enquire.

    Read the itineraries

  2. A park is named only when a day is spent in it

    A trip is listed against a park because its itinerary genuinely spends time there, never because the name turns up in the write-up. 40 parks and reserves are covered on that rule, and each one lists the trips that actually go.

    Browse parks and reserves

  3. Small groups, or the vehicle to yourself

    Groups are kept small — typically four to twelve guests — and a private departure can be arranged instead.

    See the booking FAQs

  4. A planner answers, not a checkout

    There is no basket on this site, no price list and no booking engine. Shortlist what interests you in the trip planner, or write from the contact page: the message reaches the people who plan the routes.
