Meet Our Founder

Born in South Western Uganda, with a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science. My lifelong obsession for travel was fulfilled in 2017 when I was offered a volunteer opportunity at broadbill forest camp and ranger africa safaris in one of the tour companies in Uganda. Having grown up at the edge of Bwindi impenetrable national park and less than 25km from Ishasha-the home to tree climbing lions of Queen Elizabeth National park, I have a close tie to wildlife and conservation of natural and cultural resources of Africa

I started Ecosphere to share my passion for responsible travel with like-minded people. With the team, I am personally involved in designing itineraries for our clients, with hours spent matching what they want with what we’ve got.

I have visited almost all the safari camps, lodges, and hotels, know almost every safari guide and ranger, and undertaken just about every adventure activity from gorilla tracking to bungee jumping.
