Where It All Began

Born From a Love
for the Wild

Everbased Tours & Travel was founded in Kampala in 2006 with a conviction that has guided every safari since: the best way to experience East Africa is through the eyes of the people who call it home.

Under the direction of Everest Kayundo, our team has spent nearly two decades helping more than 3,000 guests fall in love with Uganda — the Pearl of Africa — and with the wider region that surrounds it. We know the back roads that shave hours off a drive to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. We know the ranger whose quiet signals lead you straight to a gorilla family at rest. We know which lakeside lodge serves the freshest tilapia and which campfire storyteller in the Batwa community will leave you in tears.

That depth of local knowledge shapes every itinerary we build, whether it is a three-day gorilla flying safari, a fourteen-day grand circuit of Uganda, or a cross-border expedition through Rwanda, Kenya, Tanzania, and Ethiopia. From chimpanzee tracking in Kibale to game drives along the Kazinga Channel, from white-water rafting at Jinja to a sunrise summit of Margherita Peak, we take care of our clients every step of the way. With Everbased, you may arrive as a stranger, but you are guaranteed to leave as a friend.

You can also find us on SafariBookings.com, one of Africa’s leading safari comparison platforms, where travellers can read verified reviews and compare our tours alongside the continent’s top operators.
