Your footage. Your guides. Your moments — chimps in Kibale, lions on the plains, rhinos at Ziwa, golden monkeys in the mist. Walking safaris, not just game drives.

Your safari funds real care — not a marketing line
Serah Project is a registered CBO co-founded by Anthony and Esther Kiweewa. When a mother is imprisoned in Uganda, her children often have no verified caregiver. Serah finds them, re-enrols them in school, and works toward family reunification.

Happy travellers since founding
"This tour through Uganda wasn't just a holiday — it was a journey straight into the heart of Africa. The Serah Project visit was worth more than gold."
"Anthony came along the whole 8 days. Murchison Falls, Queen Elizabeth, gorilla trekking — genuine, not commercial. Whatever safari you wish, Mwanzo can make it happen."
"From booking to farewell, every aspect was meticulously planned. Five stars — a journey of a lifetime."
