A road less traveled
My wife and I visited Uganda last year under the stewardship of a fledgling Amatsiko tours. We loved every second of our adventure. Amitsiko is run for the benefit of a school for orphans. Part of your time can be spent with the school and you will come out amazed at what they can do with so little attention. More traditional things like safaris and bird watching can also be done as well as trips to tribal villages. But the school is the heart of this enterprise and using Amatsiko tours you help it keep beating

A great safari experience that surprised us all!!!!
We were very satisfied with our trip and highly recommend Amatsiko.
Why choose Amatsiko?
They organize your dream trip and at the same time take care of those in need in their communities. They have a big heart and a sense of mission.
"Amatsiko" means "hope" in the local language.
Alex and Alphonse are a great team. The whole trip runs safely and securely. They are very attentive and helpful. They take your wishes into account and can organize a real dream trip!!!
What touched me the most was meeting a family of wild gorillas in the mountains.
Well organized visit to Queen Elizabeth National Park. As promised, we met all the exotic animals in the wild - from buffalo to lions.
Boat trip on beautiful Lake Bunyonyi!!
etc.
Visiting communities. Eating local homemade food in the village, which tasted wonderful. We had the opportunity to see local traditional songs and dances
It was heartwarming to meet the children of Amatsiko School and be a part of their day and see their bright eyes and wonderful smiles. It felt good to contribute to the school's activities and to know that part of the money from the safari trip would go to support children who have lost their parents.

Our time together was joyful and mutually educational!
Amatsiko Tours gives excellent service and is always responsive to questions as plans adapt to changing circumstances. They are knowledgeable and friendly, and all of their work gives back to their community, which adds value to everything they do.

Super great and open guys, showed as queens and kings of Africa. Special thanks for W16 and 8 sec me
Best experience for us, after 10 different countries visit in Africa. Great dishes with fresh raw materials from garden. African tee is the must to try- with spices. very safe country, in all different aspects including kind and happy people. You can see deep country side without electricity and supper grate villas and stoned ship from space, still staying in air, waiting next trip. Hope this all is available for next visitors.

Exceptional Service & Thoughtfully Tailored Experience
Even before setting foot in Uganda, Amatsiko Tours has already made this trip feel special. From my very first enquiry, Alphonse and Alex have been nothing short of amazing—responsive, patient, and genuinely invested in making sure my journey is tailored perfectly to my interests and needs.
Planning an adventure like this can feel overwhelming, but they’ve made every step feel effortless. Their deep knowledge of Uganda, combined with their passion for responsible tourism, has given me complete confidence that I’ll not only see the country’s breathtaking landscapes but also connect meaningfully with the local communities. They’ve taken the time to understand what I’m looking for, offering thoughtful recommendations and ensuring every detail is carefully considered.
What truly sets Amatsiko Tours apart is their personal touch. They’re not just booking a trip; they’re creating an experience that feels authentic and deeply meaningful. I already know this will be a journey to remember, and I can’t wait to experience Uganda through their eyes.

Transformative experience getting to know the people and culture of Uganda
Amatsiko Tours provides an incredibly unique experience, both seeing the beautiful sites of Uganda, as well as connecting with real people in the community. I started by visiting gorgeous Lake Bunyonyi, spent three days in the Village of Buzaniro and finished my time in Kabale volunteering at Amatsiko Preparatory School. The experience was transformative. I came to really understand what life is like living in a rural village which is so different from my home in Los Angeles, California. Alphonse and Alex, the owners of Amatsiko Tours, are wonderful and easy to work with. All communications were smooth and straight forward. They paid close attention to every detail of my trip, making sure all my needs were met and that it was a fabulous experience. I thought it was tremendous value for the money with every aspect of the trip having a personal touch. I highly encourage you to book with Amatsiko Tours and be inspired by the people you meet and the beauty of the Uganda landscape.

not an ordinary tour but an authentic cultural and human experience
With Amatsiko the trip to Uganda becomes extraordinary, the country and the people are wonderful and Alex and Alphonse, thanks to their professionalism and knowledge, manage to make this experience memorable. I will never forget the smile of the people and the beauty of the nature of these places. With Amatsiko you do not just take a trip but a real experience in contact with the communities and the wonderful thing is that part of the proceeds are used to support the communities you visit, so more than sustainable travel, it is charitable travel.
