Feather Trail Safaris —
Tailored Safari Experiences
Imagine waking to the soft whispers of birds, the sunlight filtering through misty leaves. Picture yourself standing silently as a gorilla family moves gracefully through their forest home, or feeling the ground tremble beneath the thundering herds of the Serengeti. Every moment with us is alive with discovery.

Meet Our
Safari Guides
The guides who bring every safari to life — on the road, in the forest, and in the field.
Kavuma Patrick
Patrick is one of our most trusted English-speaking guides — the friendly, knowledgeable face who welcomes you at the airport and drives you into your safari adventure from the very first moment. His warm personality immediately puts every guest at ease.

One of his most treasured safari moments occurred in Buhoma, where a mountain gorilla gently reached out to touch a guest — a magical, unrepeatable encounter that she still shares with warmth years later. That is the Paius effect.
