When you dream of Africa, you picture vast golden savannas, misty jungles echoing with the calls of mountain gorillas, and sunsets that paint the horizon in crimson and gold. At Feather Trail Safaris, we bring those dreams to life.

Based in the heart of Uganda, we are more than just a tour operator, we are storytellers of East Africa’s beauty, curators of unforgettable journeys, and passionate guardians of wildlife and culture. From gorilla trekking in Bwindi to the wildebeest migration in the Serengeti, our safaris are designed to connect you deeply with nature, people, and the true spirit of Africa.

Rooted in Uganda, Exploring East Africa

Feather Trail Safaris was founded with a single mission: to help travelers experience Africa authentically. As a locally owned Ugandan company, we understand the land, its rhythms, and its stories in a way few can. Uganda is our home, and we take immense pride in showcasing its incredible diversity, from the mist-covered mountains of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest to the savannas of Murchison Falls and Queen Elizabeth National Park.

But our expertise doesn’t end at Uganda’s borders. We craft seamless multi-country itineraries that combine Uganda’s gorilla encounters with Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park, Kenya’s Masai Mara, or Tanzania’s Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. For travelers seeking to see the best of East Africa in one journey, Feather Trail Safaris offers professional planning, comfortable logistics, and a deep understanding of every region we operate in.

Unforgettable Safari Experiences

Every journey we create is tailored with care. Whether you’re a solo traveler, honeymoon couple, family, or group of friends, we listen to your interests and design a safari that fits your dream.

1. Gorilla Trekking Adventures
Follow the footsteps of Dian Fossey into the dense rainforests of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest (Uganda) and Volcanoes National Park (Rwanda). Few experiences rival locking eyes with a mountain gorilla, a moment so powerful, it stays with you forever.

Our gorilla trekking packages range from 3-day quick trips to 10-day immersive experiences that include cultural visits and wildlife safaris. Every trek supports conservation and local communities through park fees and partnerships.

2. Classic Wildlife Safaris
If you crave the roar of lions and the thunder of hooves across open plains, our safaris in Kenya’s Masai Mara and Tanzania’s Serengeti are unforgettable. Witness the Great Wildebeest Migration, where over two million animals cross rivers in one of nature’s greatest spectacles.

In Uganda, explore Queen Elizabeth National Park, home to tree-climbing lions, hippos, elephants, and a dazzling array of birds. Or head north to Murchison Falls National Park, where the Nile River explodes through a narrow gorge in a display of raw power.

3. Birding and Primates
Uganda alone is home to over 1,000 bird species, making it a paradise for bird lovers. Combine this with chimpanzee tracking in Kibale Forest, and you have a perfect nature-lover’s itinerary crafted by true specialists.

4. Cultural Encounters
We believe the people are the soul of East Africa. Visit traditional Batwa villages, meet the pastoralist Maasai, or take part in local cooking and craft workshops. These experiences create genuine connections and lasting memories.
