Support One to Support Many: Empowering Uganda's Future
For over a decade, Kikooko Africa Safaris has guided passionate travelers through Uganda’s breathtaking landscapes and diverse wildlife. Through our guests’ trust and enthusiasm, we’ve transformed tourism into a powerful force for positive change in local communities.
Our journey has evolved into something even more meaningful—the Kikooko Foundation, a formal initiative dedicated to supporting education and environmental sustainability across Uganda. Through targeted programs, we’re expanding our impact, helping communities thrive, and ensuring a brighter future for children, wildlife, and local ecosystems.
The Basket of Kikooko Education Fund (BOKEF)

- 65+ students currently supported from primary through university
