A Passion Born From the Savanna
Baker The Explorer is more than a safari brand—it is the life story of Bukenya Baker. Born and raised in the heart of Queen Elizabeth National Park, Baker did not learn the wild from books, but from living within it. Growing up in a large family within one of Africa’s most iconic landscapes, he developed a rare connection to wildlife, people, and place. Today, that experience translates into deeply personal safari journeys that go beyond sightseeing—inviting travelers to experience Uganda through the eyes of someone who truly belongs to it.

Plan This SafariMeet Uganda's Magnificent Creatures
Mountain Gorilla
“Mountain gorillas share 98.3% of their DNA with humans, making them our closest relatives after chimpanzees and bonobos.”
Chimpanzee
“Chimpanzees make and use tools — they fashion sticks to extract termites and rocks to crack nuts, showing remarkable problem-solving abilities.”
African Elephant
“African elephants can communicate over long distances using infrasound — rumbles too low for humans to hear that travel up to 10 km through the ground.”
Shoebill Stork
“The Shoebill can stand motionless for hours waiting for prey. Its massive bill — up to 24 cm long — can snap shut in under 0.3 seconds.”
Nile Crocodile
“Nile crocodiles are one of the few reptiles that show parental care — mothers carry hatchlings to water in their mouths and protect them for months after hatching.”
African Lion
“Uganda's Ishasha lions are among the only lion populations in the world known to regularly climb fig trees, possibly to escape insects or get a better view of prey.”
