There are many safari companies you can travel with in Uganda.
So why choose Onyx?
For us, it comes down to something simple: we want you to experience Uganda, not just pass through it.
We know Uganda
Onyx Nature Safaris is a Ugandan safari company, and Uganda is where our story begins.
We know the destinations, the roads, the parks and the different experiences that make travelling through Uganda special.
Whether you’re interested in gorillas, chimpanzees, wildlife, birding or simply seeing more of the country, we use that local knowledge to help build your trip.
Your safari is planned around you
We don’t believe in putting every traveller into the same itinerary.
Maybe you want a relaxed luxury safari.
Maybe you’re travelling on a budget.
Maybe you want to spend more time photographing wildlife.
Maybe gorilla trekking has been on your bucket list for years.
Or maybe you simply want to see where the road takes you.
We listen to what you want and build the safari around it.
We take the planning seriously
A good safari isn’t just about choosing beautiful lodges.
The route matters.
The timing matters.
The distance between destinations matters.
Your trekking permit matters.
Where you sleep before and after an activity matters.
We put these pieces together before you arrive so that your trip feels organised without feeling rushed.
We believe in personal service
When you’re travelling across another country, having someone you can actually reach matters.
From the first enquiry to the end of your safari, our team is there to help with questions, planning and the little details that can make a big difference.
We want you to feel like you are travelling with people who care about your experience.
Uganda first, East Africa beyond
Uganda is home, but your safari doesn’t have to stop at Uganda.
We also create journeys across Kenya, Tanzania and Rwanda, allowing travellers to combine some of East Africa’s most iconic destinations in one trip.
Gorillas in Uganda.
The Masai Mara in Kenya.
The Serengeti and Ngorongoro in Tanzania.
Rwanda’s forests and landscapes.
There is a lot to explore.
We don’t want you to just collect photographs
Of course, you’ll take photographs.
Lots of them.
But we want you to remember the moments between the photographs too.
The first elephant you see beside the road.
The sound of chimpanzees calling through the forest.
A quiet evening around the campfire.
A conversation with your guide.
The road through the Ugandan countryside.
Those are the things that turn a holiday into a story.
We are here to make the journey easier
Planning an African safari from another country can feel complicated.
There are permits, accommodation, transport, activities and a lot of decisions to make.
That’s where we come in.
You tell us what you want from the trip.
We help you work out the rest.
Why Onyx?
Because we want you to travel with a team that knows the destination, cares about the details and genuinely wants you to enjoy your time here.
We’re not interested in simply selling you a package.
We want to create a safari you’ll still be talking about when you’re back home.
