Grace Nakimera
Head of Guest ExperienceGrace choreographs every journey from enquiry to homecoming — permits, charters, dietary quirks and surprise anniversary cakes. If your trip feels effortless, that is Grace.
We are not a marketplace, and we are not a call centre. Ancient Africa Safaris is a small, senior team — guides, planners and storytellers who design every journey personally, then stay with you from the first call to the final transfer home.
Henry grew up between Kampala and his grandmother's village on the edge of Lake Mburo, and has spent more than fifteen years guiding and designing safaris across East Africa. He has personally trekked every gorilla sector in Uganda and Rwanda, slept in every camp we recommend, and still leads a handful of journeys himself each year.
“A safari is not a product. It is a promise.”
