Who we Work with:file 0981 300x224 Msafiri Tours to Uganda

We only work with a few specific projects, most of which are from personal relationships that Denis developed growing up in Uganda. We visit all projects personally and do not send our clients or volunteers groups to do anything we don’t know much about .

DSCN2382 300x225 Msafiri Tours to UgandaWe only work with genuine projects and organisations which we know have a long-term commitment to the local communities where they are based in East Africa. The projects we work with exist weather they have volunteers or not but need support they get from our over seas visitors. Msafiri is in regular contact with all our projects , supporting them by providing teams, advice and occasional financial support.

Where your money goes.

Msafiri asks for a fee to volunteer or work with projects to cover costs of running our organisation. Without charging a fee we would not be able to exist. Fee levels are set to match costs on each trip and a percentage is given to the organisations we work with though most terms its in form or materials than monetary terms.0263 IMG 4653 199x300 Msafiri Tours to Uganda

The fee paid helps us to provide what you need to travel and stay safely and comfortably in Africa during your tour, this means hiring and using good drivers, using good ethical hotels and local suppliers in Uganda. We want you to have peace of mind while on a trip so we deal with the minor but important details.

The projects we work with in Uganda do not have money to cover volunteer costs and are often struggling to find finances for their work , that is why its necessary that the costs of supporting volunteers are covered.

There are various projects for you to work with while in Uganda including:
