Snuffling through the grass with their tails straight up like tiny flags, warthogs may not win a beauty contest but they definitely win hearts.

You’ll often spot them kneeling to graze, dashing off with a surprising burst of speed, or casually hanging out near your safari track like they own the place.

Funny, quirky, and totally unforgettable, these little characters are one of Uganda’s most charming surprises.

Have you seen a warthog up close before?

Here in Uganda, nature doesn’t knock… it just shows up at the window. One second you're chatting in the safari van, the next you're holding your breath as a giraffe strolls past like it's the most normal thing in the world.

Moments like these don’t need words.
Just the sound of the wind, the rustle of leaves, and the quiet awe of realizing how wild and wonderful this world really is.

This guest didn’t expect to be this close but that’s the magic of Queen Elizabeth National Park.

Ever wondered what it’s like to step into the Garden of Eden?

Welcome to the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Africa’s most breathtaking safari destinations. This ancient volcanic caldera cradles a thriving wildlife paradise: from large prides of lions to endangered black rhinos, elephants, hippos, and thousands of wildebeest and zebra grazing freely across the crater floor.

But it’s not just the wildlife, it's what you'll feel stepping inside. Surrounded by towering crater walls and vast skies, every moment here feels like a scene from a nature documentary… only you're living it.

Swipe through and take a journey into one of the most unique safari landscapes on Earth.

When you travel with Kikooko, you don’t just see the wild, you understand it.

Here’s our founder, sharing stories that don’t come from guidebooks.

It’s moments like these, pausing mid-walk, surrounded by birdsong and fresh air, where the safari experience comes alive in a whole new way.

At Kikooko Africa Safaris, our founder doesn’t just design the journeys. He leads them, lives them, and shares the secrets only locals truly know.

Because we believe the best safaris are personal.
Rooted in passion, led by people who care, and filled with stories that stay with you long after the journey ends.

Step quietly through history.
At the Kasubi Tombs in Uganda, tradition lives on in the walls, the earth, and the stories still whispered here.

This isn’t just a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it’s a sacred space where generations of Buganda kings are laid to rest.
The architecture is unique. The symbolism is deep. And every visit offers a glimpse into Uganda’s rich royal heritage.

Culture is not just seen. It’s felt.
And here, it speaks in hushed reverence.

Have you ever explored a place that made you feel part of something bigger?

Deep in the heart of Bwindi’s ancient rainforest, you hike through tangled vines, slippery paths, and mist-kissed trees.

Just ahead, a mountain gorilla locks eyes with you.

Watching them up close feels like entering another world. Babies tumble through the underbrush. Mothers groom with quiet focus. And the silverback, strong and silent, watches over them all.

They live in tight-knit family groups led by a dominant silverback, and each has a unique nose print, like a fingerprint.

This is one of the rarest wildlife encounters on Earth. Fewer than 1,100 mountain gorillas remain, and half call Uganda home.

Gorilla trekking isn’t just about seeing wildlife. It’s about understanding it. Respecting it.

Joy. Rhythm. Tradition.
In Rwanda, culture isn’t just something from the past. It's lived and performed on a daily basis. From the hypnotic beat of the drums to the graceful movements of the Intore dancers, this moment captures the soul of a nation that honors its roots with pride.

Dressed in traditional attire, voices rise in song, hands clap in rhythm, and woven baskets are carried with elegance and meaning. These are stories passed down through generations.

📍Captured near the foothills of Volcanoes National Park, this cultural experience offers a deeper connection to the heart of Rwanda that goes beyond the gorillas and the landscapes.

Would you join the dance?

They say it looks prehistoric. We say it’s one of Uganda’s most jaw-dropping wildlife encounters.

Meet the shoebill stork, a rare, dinosaur-like bird that calls Uganda’s wetlands home. With its massive beak, piercing stare, and slow, calculated movements, spotting one feels like stepping into another world.

On our birding safari, we quietly glided through papyrus swamps by canoe, listening to nothing but the sounds of nature. Then, suddenly, there it is… standing motionless like a statue, watching you right back.

If you’re into rare wildlife encounters, bird photography, or just want to see something truly unique on your safari, this is it.

📍Mabamba Swamp is calling.

What happens when you mix the magic of Sipi Falls with a hands-on matoke cooking session?
You get the ultimate taste of Uganda — fresh, earthy, and full of heart.

High in the foothills of Mount Elgon, guests roll up their sleeves and learn the art of preparing this East African classic from local hosts. Steam rises, laughter echoes, and the scent of banana and spices fills the air — all with the breathtaking backdrop of cascading waterfalls.

It’s not just about the food. It’s about the connection. The smiles. The stories. And savoring every moment of slow, soulful travel.

Would you try your hand at cooking matoke with a view like this?

In the wild, even the mighty buffalo knows the value of teamwork. These clever little birds are oxpeckers — and they’re not just catching a ride. They're nature’s pest control, feeding on ticks and parasites while keeping their ride healthy.

It's a win-win in the African savannah.

Just another reminder: out here, survival is a team sport.
