Meet Our Founder

Apollo Musinguzi

Founder & Lead Safari Guide

"Uganda has been my classroom, my office, and my home."

At just eight years old, Apollo would quietly follow safari groups exploring the forests and mountains around Fort Portal. Fascinated by visitors from around the world, he listened carefully to experienced guides, learned local stories from elders, and developed a deep curiosity about the wildlife and landscapes surrounding his home.

Tourists often smiled as the young Apollo shared traditional songs and stories passed down through generations. Those early encounters sparked a dream that would shape the rest of his life.

Today, that same passion continues to inspire every safari we operate.

WHY BIG PREDATORS TOURS

Instead of simply following an itinerary, we create safaris shaped by decades of first-hand experience.

When you travel with us, you’re travelling with someone who has:

✓ Guided visitors across Uganda for over two decades

✓ Worked with hundreds of international travellers

✓ Built relationships with lodges, communities, and conservation partners

✓ Personally explored Uganda’s leading national parks

✓ Designed itineraries based on real guiding experience—not internet research

Every recommendation we make comes from places we’ve visited, routes we’ve driven, and experiences we’ve lived ourselves.

Plan with confidence

Our Story is Uganda's Story

Growing up in Fort Portal meant growing up surrounded by stories.

Apollo remembers hearing local legends explaining how the region’s crater lakes were formed by the footsteps of giant ancestors. Years later, education revealed their volcanic origins—but both the science and the folklore remain part of the rich cultural heritage visitors discover today.

At Big Predators Tours, we believe the best safaris combine wildlife with the stories, people, and traditions that bring every destination to life.

Because understanding a place goes far beyond simply seeing it.

WHAT WE STAND FOR
