From Our Family to Your Journey

About FAZZI Tours and Travel

A family-owned Uganda tour operator based in Kisoro District, South-Western Uganda, at the gateway to Bwindi, Mgahinga, Lake Mutanda and the Virunga region.

Who we are

Local knowledge. Personal journeys. Authentic Uganda.

We create personal Uganda safaris that combine extraordinary wildlife with landscapes, culture, communities and everyday local experiences. For us, tourism is personal. We don’t simply take visitors to places — we introduce them to a country we know, live in and are proud to call home.

Our home in Kisoro puts us close to some of Uganda’s most celebrated attractions. Bwindi and Mgahinga are not simply destinations on a map to us. The mountains, forests, villages, farms and roads of South-Western Uganda are part of the region where we live.

That local connection allows us to introduce travellers to much more than Uganda’s famous wildlife. We want guests to experience the conversations, traditions, food, landscapes and everyday moments that bring a destination to life.

We want you to feel like a welcomed guest in our home rather than another traveller on an itinerary. That is what we mean when we say: From Our Family to Your Journey.

Our story

Visitors should experience Uganda through the eyes of people who genuinely call it home

Our family has deep roots in South-Western Uganda.

Over time, we came to understand that the memories travellers carry home are often created by more than the famous attractions they came to see. A gorilla trekking experience in Bwindi or Mgahinga may be unforgettable. But so can walking through a coffee farm. Sharing a meal with a local family. Listening to community stories. Learning about traditional food. Driving through the hills of Kisoro. Or simply having time for a conversation with someone whose life is very different from your own.

That understanding shapes the journeys we create today. We combine Uganda’s wildlife and natural attractions with meaningful opportunities to experience local life. Our goal is to help travellers discover the Uganda we know: beautiful, welcoming, diverse, natural, human — and full of stories.

Community experiences

Coffee & farm experiences

Guests can experience local agriculture and learn about crops such as coffee, vanilla and bananas while meeting some of the people whose livelihoods depend on the land.

Tailor-made Uganda tours

Not every traveller wants the same itinerary. We combine gorillas, wildlife, culture, landscapes and local experiences into private, flexible tours built around your interests.

We live where we guide

Our understanding of South-Western Uganda comes from living here, not from visiting when clients arrive. That perspective lets us show both the famous destinations and the quieter experiences beyond the main circuit.

Responsible tourism

The best tourism connects people

Tourism should create positive memories for travellers while respecting the people, wildlife and environments that make those journeys possible. When visiting communities, our aim is to encourage genuine interaction rather than turning people’s daily lives into tourist attractions.

  • Respectful cultural interaction
  • Responsible gorilla and wildlife tourism
  • Conservation awareness
  • Greater participation by local communities
  • Local guiding
  • Authentic cultural exchange
  • Smaller and more personal travel experiences

Our promise to you

To help you experience Uganda with people who know it, live it and are proud to share it

Travel with us and your Uganda journey may include moments as extraordinary as standing quietly in a forest near a mountain gorilla. But it might also include smaller moments you didn’t expect. A conversation. A shared meal. Walking through a village. Watching coffee being grown and prepared. Driving beside green hills and volcanic mountains. Listening to someone’s story.

These moments can turn a holiday into something more personal. They create connection.

Come as a traveller. Leave as part of the FAZZI story.
