The Uganda Safari Company began its conservation efforts in 1992 in the
Semliki Valley Wildlife Reserve – an area that suffered badly from
poachers during Uganda’s troubled years. Husband and wife team Jonathan
and Pamela Wright have worked tirelessly to heal, reintroduce and
preserve the diverse wildlife of this area. A key aspect of the
conservation effort is promoting tourism.
With this in mind, the company
established Wildplaces, low-impact, environmentally sensitive lodges
were developed to provide further services and to aid continued
preservation. A full-service safari company, TUSC, takes visitors on
guided trips throughout Uganda. Itineraries are all tailor-made and vary

specially designed for comfortable wildlife viewing, with plenty of leg
room, large viewing hatches and fully trained guides, so that guests can
