Uganda’s Nature, Butterfly & Wildlife Safari Specialists

Afro-Tropical Butterfly Safaris is a Uganda-based safari company dedicated to creating meaningful nature and wildlife experiences across the country’s protected landscapes. Our safaris focus on butterfly experiences, birding tours, primate tracking, nature walks, and classic wildlife safaris, all guided by local expertise and a strong respect for conservation.

Uganda’s ecosystems are among the richest in Africa, and our work is rooted in showcasing this diversity responsibly. From ancient rainforests to open savannahs and wetlands, we design journeys that connect travelers with nature while supporting long-term environmental protection and community livelihoods.

Every safari is built around knowledge, care, and authenticity. We believe that great safari experiences come from understanding ecosystems, respecting wildlife, and traveling at a pace that allows real discovery.

Our Story

Afro-Tropical Butterfly Safaris was founded with a clear purpose: to highlight Uganda’s natural heritage beyond traditional safari routes. Inspired by the country’s extraordinary butterfly diversity and rich birdlife, the company grew into a specialist operator offering nature-focused safaris across Uganda’s national parks.

Our journey began with guided forest walks and butterfly observation experiences, gradually expanding to include gorilla trekking, chimpanzee tracking, birding safaris, and wildlife game experiences. This growth reflects our belief that all species from insects to great apes play a vital role in healthy ecosystems.

Today, Afro-Tropical Butterfly Safaris brings together passion, experience, and professional safari planning to deliver journeys that are educational, ethical, and deeply rewarding.
