Insight Safari Holidays

Insight Safari Holidays is a Kampala-based, locally-owned safari operator founded in 2000. While the company runs the full East and Southern African safari circuit — Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania, Kenya, Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe — birding is a stated specialty within Uganda, drawing on the country's roughly 1,000 species. Ugandan birding itineraries focus on Mabamba Bay for Shoebill, Lutembe Bay's papyrus wetlands and the Albertine Rift forests of Bwindi and Kibale for endemics and forest specialists. Tours can be combined with gorilla and chimpanzee trekking, and the operator emphasizes private, custom-built itineraries.
