who we are

A Ugandan Swiss Venture

— Crafted in Uganda. Shaped by a Shared Vision. Powered by Local Impact.

Venture Treks & Safaris Ltd, based in Kampala, was founded by Michael, a Ugandan safari guide, and Andreas, a Swiss traveller, after a life-changing journey through Uganda during the pandemic. Blending Michael’s deep local knowledge with Andreas’ commitment to maximising local impact, they created a truly personal safari company—one that combines Swiss precision with the heart and soul of East Africa.

When you book directly with us, you get better value for money, and more importantly, you’re supporting a locally rooted business where every dollar stays in the country and benefits the people who make your journey unforgettable.
