Let us show you
around Uganda

It started with an idea: let’s go to Kidepo Valley National Park. A  borrowed Landrover, the recruitment of a few mates and a selection of odd tents with missing pegs and we were off. What we discovered was magical. At the time we lived in Murchison Falls National Park, which we loved, and still do, but Kidepo was special: just awe inspiring, stunning beauty and the feeling of exclusive wilderness.

We were sold and we know you will be too, but back then we struggled to find a tour company to take us because of the poor roads and a lack of decent, affordable accommodation. Basically go it alone or fly in.

We want to take you there because we want to go there ourselves!

Meet the Team

After years of travelling and working in Africa, Tim settled in Uganda in 2009 and founded Buffalo Safari Camps two years later. Tim plans all the safaris so if you’re unsure of what you want just ask him: he has almost certainly been there, seen it, done it and then gone back to check if it was as good as he thought it was first time around!
Tim
Managing Director
Rhys was on that first trip to Kidepo and has been on hand with whacky ideas for safari programmes ever since. He has guided in Kidepo, Murchison and Queen Elizabeth and helps us with his experience in organising gorilla safaris and knowledge of out of the way spots in Queen Elizabeth. Built for luxury not speed, has proudly drunk a beer in the pool of most of Uganda’s safari lodges.

Safari Consultant
If you’re booking one of our great value group safaris you’ll most likely be in contact with Dan. Dan is a popular guy within the team and keeps the office in Jinja a happy place. He’s a bit of a party animal and also loves his sports, especially rugby and football, but these days from the sidelines.
