The Ruboni Community at the foothills of the splendid Rwenzori Mountains
The brilliant Bigodi Swamp Walk, managed by the Kibale Association for Rural Environmental Development.

A real commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility:
In addition to supporting the best community tourism projects, Around Africa Safaris’ corporate social responsibilities extend to support the education of several children at Nkuringo Orphanage in southwestern Uganda.
Look closely at our logo, and you will see how much we treasure the rhino!
The Black Rhinoceros and the White Rhinoceros once roamed Uganda’s Savannah. Tragically, armed conflict and poaching wiped out both species by 1982. Uganda’s Ziwa Rhino sanctuary – a regular feature on Around Africa itineraries- was established to reintroduce rhinos and is the only location in Uganda where rhinos can be observed in their natural habitat. Six rhinos were imported from overseas; to date, Ziwa’s rhinos have produced nine baby rhinos. Around Africa, Safaris works tirelessly to fulfil your expectations.
