01 / YOUR GUIDE
Charles the Guide
Charles Sere is the founder and owner of JARIBU SAFARIS UGANDA and your personal Guide.
In Charles’s own words
„The first time I was around the purest nature was early January 2011,this was at the heart of Budongo forest,beautiful and very quiet place surrounded with nature only. Right from the loudest cicadas in the night,tree hyraxes calling out loud to beautiful birds breaking out the morning dawn,black and white monkeys flying up and down. So many shapes and sizes of different insects in colors I cannot imagine.The most Catchy for me was loads of the most beautiful butterflies every where in lots of places. The energy,life and how peaceful these butterflies were made me restless and I decided to know more and be part of that life. Call me Charles the guide.“

A few starting points for planning your time in Uganda.
Where does the journey start?
Jaribu Safaris is based in Muyenga, Kampala, Uganda. Your exact meeting point and departure arrangements should be agreed when planning your safari.
What should I bring?
Think comfortable layers, closed shoes, sun protection, a reusable water bottle, and your camera. A small day bag is useful. Your final packing list will depend on the route and activities.
Can I use the example tour as a starting point?
Yes—use it to collect your ideas. Note your preferred dates, group size, and interests, then discuss the route and arrangements with Jaribu Safaris before making plans.
What should I confirm before booking?
Confirm the itinerary, total price, accommodation, transport, included activities, park fees, payment terms, and cancellation policy. Check current entry and travel requirements with the relevant official authorities.
How can I travel thoughtfully?
Respect wildlife space, follow park rules and your guide’s directions, take litter with you, and ask before photographing people. Leave each place as you would hope to find it.
