A Bridge Between Two Worlds
Onzako was founded to answer a single question: How can we share the authentic soul of our Ugandan home with the seamless service and peace of mind our guests deserve?
The answer is a bridge. A bridge we personally embody.
The Heritage in Our Name
Our story begins in Uganda, the Pearl of Africa. The name Onzako itself is a legacy union of the family lineages that raised us. It is a constant reminder of the values they instilled: unwavering integrity, heartfelt hospitality, and a profound love for the wild beauty of our homeland. This heritage is the authentic soul we infuse on every journey.
The Advantage of Our Reach
Today, with roots deep in Uganda and a home in the United States, we are that bridge. We understand that a dream trip to Africa is an investment of both money and trust. That’s why we offer you the best of both worlds, unequivocally:
- US-Based Assurance: Here in the United States, you have a professional, accessible team. You get the clarity, security, and peace of mind that come from working with a US-based company that understands your service and safety standards.
- Ugandan Insider Access: There in Uganda, you aren’t just another tourist. You are a guest of our family, welcomed by our personal network of the country’s most experienced guides and conservationists. This is access that cannot be bought; it is earned through a lifetime of connection.
Leadership with Purpose
This commitment to connections goes beyond travel. Our Founder, Robert Buziba, is a former educator who remains deeply invested in Uganda’s future. As a Director of UREEP, he actively champions initiatives that provide education equity and clean water to rural communities. This isn’t a footnote to our business; it is central to it. It ensures we operate with a deep respect for the local landscape and a genuine commitment to the people who make it magical.
Our Promise: The Circle of Care
This philosophy is brought to life through our Circle of Care, symbolized by the prominent ‘O’ in our logo. It represents our holistic, unbroken commitment to your journey. From the first conversation in Atlanta to your final farewell from Entebbe, you are enveloped in a continuous sphere of obsessive attention to detail.
This is the Onzako way: seamless service, authentic connection, and a journey that genuinely gives back.
Our Philosophy
Look closely at our logo, and you’ll see the prominent ‘O’—it’s a symbol of our core philosophy. The circle represents completeness and our commitment to inclusivity, offering a comprehensive, end-to-end experience. The ‘O’ is the first and last letter of our name, symbolizing our full-circle approach to every journey we create for you. We take care of every detail, from the moment you begin dreaming of your safari to the moment you return home with unforgettable memories.
