About Otter African Safaris
Otter African Safaris is a proudly East African, owner-operated safari company dedicated to creating life-changing journeys across Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya, and Tanzania. We specialise in authentic wildlife safaris, immersive cultural experiences, and carefully crafted adventures that connect travellers deeply with Africa’s landscapes, people, and wildlife.
Founded on passion, integrity, and firsthand experience, Otter African Safaris was created to offer more than just a holiday; we create meaningful East African safari experiences that stay with you long after you return home.
How We Started
Otter African Safaris was founded by passionate African travel professionals who grew up surrounded by nature, wildlife, and vibrant local cultures. From an early age, we witnessed how Africa’s wilderness shapes identity, community, and purpose. What started as guiding friends, families, and small groups through Uganda’s national parks soon grew into a professional safari company driven by purpose, storytelling, and service.
We saw a gap in the safari industry, too many trips felt rushed, generic, or disconnected from local communities. Otter African Safaris was created to change that. We wanted to design journeys that are personal, well-paced, ethically operated, and deeply rooted in local knowledge. Every itinerary we create is inspired by real experiences, real people, and real places.

Each itinerary is custom-tailored to match your interests, travel style, and budget, whether you’re seeking luxury lodges, remote wilderness camps, or family-friendly adventures.
