Giravex Safaris is a Uganda based Tour Destination Management Company, run by guides and planners who grew up among the parks, forests and communities we now share with our guests. We handle every detail in-house, from permits to private guides, across Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya, Tanzania, Zanzibar and Zambia.

A closer look at the itineraries built specifically around time with the mountain gorillas of Bwindi and Mgahinga.
Gorilla trekking is physically and emotionally demanding, and the difference between an average trek and an unforgettable one usually comes down to who is organizing it.
Built and run by East Africans who plan every route from firsthand knowledge, not a brochure.
Every itinerary is adjusted to your pace, budget and interests, never a fixed package.
A local team and direct contact are reachable throughout your trip, not only before booking.
We work with community and conservation partners so your visit gives something back.
Every detail was handled before we even landed. Our guide's knowledge of the forest made the trek itself feel effortless, and the hour with the gorilla family is something I still think about.
We told Giravex roughly what we wanted and they built something better than we could have planned ourselves. The camps were exactly the kind of quiet, private spots we'd hoped for.
Traveling with two kids under ten made us nervous, but the pacing was perfect and our guide kept them engaged the whole trip. Genuinely one of our best family holidays.
The crew's pacing and altitude management made the difference between our group and others we met on the mountain. Every one of us reached the summit.
Fast, efficient, and beautifully organized. Two hours from Kigali to the gorillas, then a completely different pace by the lake. Couldn't have asked for a smoother trip.
We saw more wildlife in five days than we expected to see in two weeks. Our guide's tracking instincts were incredible - he'd spot a leopard from what felt like a mile away.
Fixed departure dates through the coming season are open for booking, with discounted rates on selected group treks and migration safaris.
