The Spirit of Ebonjalo

This is what gives our journeys meaning — and why every tour becomes unforgettable.

Storytelling & Roots

The name EBONJALO Tours was born from a creative reimagining of the word JANBOELO, the seed of our original brand identity. In reshaping the letters, we found Ebonjalo.

For us, Ebonjolo Tours is more than a name. It represents our vision to create East Africa safari tours and journeys that are not just about destinations, but about community, storytelling, and authentic encounters. Every tour is designed to be flexible and personal, guided by the belief that travel should connect travellers not only to nature and wildlife, but also to the people and cultures who give Africa its spirit.

The Symbols That Guide Us

The Buffalo

Our guiding symbol
Strong yet grounded, it thrives within its herd, reminding us that true strength lies in community. The buffalo moves with the rhythm of the land — adapting to the seasons, flowing with nature — just as our tours follow the pace of real life.

The Journey

Our path of discovery
It reflects the winding paths we follow, never straight but always meaningful. It speaks of flexibility, of finding your way through the unknown, and of allowing each step to reveal something new.

The Sun

Our source of light
For us, the sun is more than light: it is the storyteller of time itself. Each dawn opens a new chapter, each sunset closes one — reminding us that our journeys are made of moments, illuminated by the glow of experience.

The Hills

Our grounding strength
For us, the hill is more than a landscape: it is where our own story in Africa began — on the slopes of Mount Kadam, in Loporokocho, where we laid the foundations of our first lodge.

The Community

Our circle of connection
From the warmth of local families to the friendships built in villages and on the road, community has always been the foundation of our story. It reminds us that journeys become stories only when shared, and that the true essence of travel lies in connection.

Authentic East African Safari Tours with Meaning

At Ebonjalo Tours we believe a safari is more than ticking animals off a list — it is a journey into the heart of East-Africa. Our safaris combine wildlife encounters, cultural immersion, and community connection, creating experiences that unfold with truth and authenticity. From the vast plains of Pian Upe Wildlife Reserve to the waterfalls of Sipi Falls and the savannahs of the Masai Mara, each itinerary is designed to bring you closer to the land, its people, and its untold stories.

Travelling with Ebonjalo means choosing safaris that are small-scale and personal, guided by experts who know Uganda and Kenya beyond the brochures. Every tour supports local communities and protects the wild places that make this country unique. Whether you seek a short adventure or a longer expedition through East Africa, we tailor journeys to your rhythm.
