The wild, held quietly.
Ibara Safaris designs private gorilla trekking, primate tracking, and Big Five journeys for a small number of guests each year—each one built entirely around you.
"A safari, we believe, should never feel arranged. It should feel discovered — one guide, one vehicle, one party at a time, moving through Uganda at the pace of the forest itself."
Read our storyThree Journeys. Infinite Arrangement.
Every itinerary begins as a blank page. These are the encounters most often woven through it — never a fixed package, always a private design.
Gorilla Trekking
A private permit, a single tracker family, and an hour in the presence of mountain gorillas found nowhere else on earth.

Primate Tracking
Chimpanzee habituation walks in Kibale, alongside the endangered Ugandan red colobus — quiet mornings with Uganda's rarest company.

Big Five Safari
Private game drives across Queen Elizabeth, Murchison Falls, and Kidepo — savannah, river, and the far northern wild.
Discover moreFewer Guests. Greater Intention.
We accept a deliberately small number of journeys each season — the rest of our attention goes into the ones we do.
Deliberately capped
Never combined
Across Uganda
Every journey unique
Owner-Led, Private by Design
Every itinerary is designed personally, not assembled from a catalogue. One vehicle, one guide, one party — never combined with strangers.
Ground Truth
Ugandan-based specialists who know every camp, permit, and back road firsthand to guarantee flawless transitions.
Conservation-Linked
A share of every journey funds ranger and habitat programmes in the national parks we visit.
Chosen Settings, Not Owned Camps
ibara safaris doesn't build or own camps. We hand-pick a small circle of independent lodges and tented camps across Uganda — each one chosen for a setting like this: a river, a forest edge, a plain that empties to the horizon.
