Mountain gorilla family in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Uganda
Uganda · Rwanda · Since 2016

Slow safaris,
quietly extraordinary.

Private gorilla treks, unhurried game drives and hand-built itineraries through the Pearl of Africa — planned by a Kampala team who has walked every trail.

Why Zenvoy

A safari house, not a booking engine.

We plan around thirty journeys a month — small enough that your trip director answers the phone at 2am from a lodge in Ishasha, large enough that we hold advance permits for every gorilla family in Bwindi and Volcanoes. Everyone you meet on the road works directly for Zenvoy.

Guided by the same team
Zenvoy guides — not sub-contractors. Silver-certified by UWA, averaging nine years in the forest.
Permits held in advance
We reserve gorilla and chimpanzee permits nine months out. You never chase availability.
One tree per traveller
Every booking funds indigenous reforestation with our partners at Nyabyeya, Masindi.
Answered by a person
One trip director from first email to the airport transfer. No handoffs, no ticketing queues.

Our people

Founded by a Kampala guide who got tired of watching the safari happen from the back of a bus.

Doreen Nakato started Zenvoy in 2016 after fifteen years running expeditions for larger operators. The house rule is simple: the person who plans your trip has walked it. We stay small on purpose so that promise stays true.
