Welcome to Hillary Uganda Trips, where unforgettable journeys and authentic experiences come to life. Nestled in the heart of Lake Bunyonyi, this locally owned tour company is managed by Hillary Byamugisha, a passionate professional photographer with a lifelong commitment to showcasing Uganda’s breathtaking beauty and vibrant culture.
Kown for his captivating imagery and dedication to community development, Hillary founded this company to offer unforgettable experiences.
MY STORY
Hillary was born and grew up in a remote village amidst the rolling gorilla highlands and serene waters of Lake Bunyonyi. He attended a local tourism school nearby, where he not only gained an education but also developed a profound appreciation for his surroundings. Inspired by the diversity of bird species, the majestic landscapes, and the rich traditions of his community, he dreamed of sharing this hidden paradise with the world.
Today, Hillary has gained a tremendous skill of photography channelling his love for nature and culture into crafting unforgettable tours. As a local guide, he connects travellers to the heart of Uganda offering intimate birdwatching tours, cultural explorations, and adventures that give back to the community he cherishes. Through tourism, Hillary bridges his past and present, inviting visitors to experience the magic of Lake Bunyonyi and beyond while contributing to the well-being of his home.
This vision inspired the creation of Hillary Uganda Trips, a tour company that offers authentic, tailor-made travel experiences with a focus on sustainability, cultural immersion, and photography.
