About UsInsight Safari Holidays
A locally owned East African safari company, planning gorilla treks and tailor-made journeys across Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania, built so travel benefits the places, people and wildlife that make it possible.
Born and raised in these lands
With over twenty years of experience, we have grown from a small local operator into a respected name in East African tourism. Our team brings together more than fifty years of combined experience in safari operations, wildlife expertise and local knowledge, and we are proud to be run by professionals born and raised in these lands.
Every gorilla trek we plan is built around your interests, pace and comfort. We secure your permits, handle the logistics and put a professional guide beside you, so the only thing you have to think about is the moment you lock eyes with a silverback.
A purpose-built safari fleet
Every journey runs in our own custom 4x4 safari vehicles, built for long days in the parks and looked after by a local driver-guide who knows the roads, the forests and the wildlife.
- Pop-up roofs for unobstructed game viewing and photography

- Onboard first-aid kits and safety equipment
- Charging points and a refrigerated cooler box for the road

Travel that protects what makes it possible
We are committed to sustainable, responsible tourism. A share of every trip supports conservation and the communities living alongside the gorillas, and we work to keep our footprint light across the parks we love. When you travel with us, your stay and your permit help fund the protection of one of the planet’s most remarkable species.
