Pilama safaris

At Pilama Safaris, we believe the best African adventures are the ones that go beyond the guidebook. Born and based in Uganda, we are a locally-owned safari company with offices in Uganda and Kenya and a deep, personal knowledge of the landscapes, wildlife, and communities that make East Africa unlike anywhere else on earth. We specialise in custom budget and mid-range safaris designed around you. Whether you're tracking mountain gorillas through the mist of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, watching the Great Migration unfold across the Maasai Mara, or discovering the hidden gems of Murchison Falls and Queen Elizabeth National Park we craft every journey with care, honesty, and an insider's eye. What sets us apart? Our team includes a professional wildlife photographer and field communications specialist, which means we don't just take you to the animals we help you see them, capture them, and leave with memories that last a lifetime. Our guides are experienced, passionate, and deeply rooted in the communities they operate in.
