About Us

Hillary Expeditions is a locally owned travel service based in southwestern Uganda, near the border with Rwanda. Founded by Hillary, a lifelong resident of the region with a deep love for its natural beauty and cultural richness, the company specializes in personalized tours across Uganda and northern Rwanda.

For over a decade, Hillary has been helping travelers experience the best of East Africa — from the misty forests of Mgahinga to the shores of Lake Bunyonyi and beyond. Whether you're here to track mountain gorillas, hike volcanoes, or relax by a crater lake, Hillary knows the way. His deep roots in the community and network of trusted guides and lodges mean you're in safe hands every step of the journey.

Travel with Hillary is more than a trip — it's a connection to the land, the wildlife, and the people who call this region home.

Testimonials!

We went with Hillary to see the gorillas and then to Bunyoni. He made everything easy. He arranged the permits for the gorilla tracking before we got there. He then picked us up in Kigali, took us across the border and help with our visas for Uganda. He also organized our accommodation. But he checked with us at every stage to ensure we were happy with every detail. A really wonderful experience!

We did a gorilla tracking tour in Uganda with Hilary that included cross-border travels and everything went incredibly smooth. Hillary was a great guide and we would book a tour with him again any day!
