Roonterra Safaris was born from Roonie’s love for Africa. “Roon” represents the personal passion, integrity and commitment behind every safari; “terra” is the land beneath every unforgettable journey.

Roonterra was set up with the simple aim of building the best safari company possible. We wanted genuine experts working for us, people who cared about Africa, people with the experience to design the very best wildlife and cultural trips across the continent.
Julian Carter-Manning Director & Founder

The Roonterra past: founded in 2012 but inspired by 1957

Based in Kampala, Uganda, our team connects travellers with Africa’s land, wildlife, cultures and people through authentic, responsible and unforgettable journeys.

From gorilla trekking in Bwindi to wildlife drives in Queen Elizabeth and Murchison Falls, our journeys combine local guides, handpicked lodges and time to experience Uganda at your own pace.

Tell us what you dream of seeing. We plan around your interests, travel dates and the people travelling with you.

Our promise is personal service, responsible travel and in-country support. Your dedicated trip host helps you prepare for the journey and feel at home along the way.

We specialize in getting under the skin of a destination, designing trips for our clients that put them into the best places at the right time of year. It’s all about incredible guides and incredible game viewing experiences.
