Mwanzo Tours
we are passionate about linking tourism to rural community development so the ‘tourism dollar’ can reach the communities. This ensures communities living adjacent to the park and those along the ‘tourism route’ to get actively engaged in conservation of wildlife because they benefit directly. We encourage our clients to visit communities and ‘home stays’ and or engage in a community activity that lasts from 1 hour to several hours or over nights. The community activities include village walks which often lead to local schools and health centers, cooking and gardening.
In 2019 Mwanzo Tours Uganda was Started from a love of travel and nature and from a love for youth and community development.we as a team have been to all the destinations we share here, several times.

I love traveling and I enjoy the countryside which usually is less busy than most cities. From an early age I always looked forward to a time of visiting a relative living far from our home which meant traveling for hours – while others dreaded it. I love sharing knowledge of the destinations we work in with visitors who often experience something different from what they read or watched on TV (too bad sometimes media concentrates on the negative). It has been said that people come to Uganda/Rwanda (Africa) for the attractions but leave with fond memories of the people they get to interact with.
Throughout your safari experience, there are remnants of the “Africa as it was” paying tribute to this moment in time with all the majestic memories that this brings. You too now get a chance to make not only your own memories but join the thousands of travellers of before and become part of this legacy for future generations.
Focusing on the value for our guests and involving our “guides” in all activities seems like the perfect inspiration.
Our dedication to climate-friendly practices underscores our efforts to minimize environmental impact and promote responsible travel.
