About Wild Tusker

A small Ugandan team, planning one trip at a time

We are guides and travel planners who live and work in East Africa. We build each safari around your dates, your pace and what you want to see, then we stay with you on the ground until the day you fly home.

We work with local lodges and communities, and we put our own camp in Bwindi on the gorilla routes.

Where our gorilla trips sleep

The night before the trek, you stay at the forest edge

Our Bwindi journeys stay at Nshongi Camp in Rushaga, a short walk from the gorilla briefing point. Guests watch the forest from the deck at breakfast, and the staff walk you to the start of the trek.

Traveller stories

What our guests tell us

An unforgettable gorilla trek

The trek was emotional and unforgettable. The safari was organised from start to finish, and our guide was patient and knew the forest. We felt safe the whole way.

Anna & MarkGermany

Local experts who care

Being a local company, they knew exactly where to go and when. Strong wildlife sightings and cultural visits that meant something.

DavidUnited Kingdom

Fast, clear communication

Replies came fast and clear from the first message to the last day. The itinerary was built around what we asked for.

SophieFrance

More than a safari

Plenty of wildlife, people we will remember, and a real sense of Uganda. They made us feel like guests, not tourists.
