We are not visitors here. We are home.
Jabel Tours is a boutique safari outfitter built by East Africans, for travellers who want the real thing.
Born where the mountains meet the rainforest
Kampala
What we stand for
Born & based here
Local guides who know every track, tree and river bend, not a call centre an ocean away.
Tailor-made, always
No two Jabel journeys are alike. We build yours around your pace, your dreams and your budget.
Guaranteed permits
Gorilla and chimp permits sell out months ahead. We secure yours before they are gone.
Travel that gives back
Every journey supports conservation and the communities who protect this wilderness.
24/7 on-trip support
A real person on the ground, any hour, for the whole of your time with us.
Honest, fair pricing
Premium experiences with no hidden costs. You always know exactly what you are paying for.
A decade in the wild
The first 4x4
Jabel is founded in Kampala with one vehicle, one guide and a love for the Bwindi gorillas.
Into Rwanda
We open operations in Kigali, adding the easy-access gorillas of Volcanoes National Park.
Across to Kenya
The Maasai Mara and the Great Migration join the collection.
The luxury collection
We launch our fly-in honeymoon and private-guide journeys.
4,800+ travellers later
Still boutique, still local, still building one unforgettable journey at a time.
Guides, designers & storytellers
A small, senior team. When you travel with Jabel, you travel with the people who planned it.
Twenty years in Bwindi. There is no one who reads a forest like Patience.
A big-cat specialist who has tracked the Migration for over fifteen seasons.
Our man in Kigali, fluent in volcanoes, permits and Rwandan hospitality.
The architect of your itinerary, obsessed with the details you will never notice.
