Guild Safaris Limited was the dream of a poor village boy raised by a single mother who was very passionate about taking lonely walks through the village forests. He loved to admire and explore the magnificent natural landscapes and the diversity of wild species. He pursued his dream and started a course in nature conservation at Makerere University. He wanted to improve the livelihoods of people while enjoying the adventurous activities in the lap of nature.  He completed his Bachelor of Science in tourism and hospitality management with honors.  He initiated his research with a passion for conserving nature on ecotourism around protected areas.

His nature activities motivated him to pursue a master’s degree (Honours) in environment and natural resources. His research on management practices can address human wildlife conflicts to enhance nature conservation outcomes. He was among the top 3 students who accomplished the degree in record time. During his university study and research, he could lead both national and international students to visit beautiful natural places. He guided them to take their common interest in contributing to sustainable conservation through leisure and adventurous tourism activities.

His guidance to travellers gave birth to a tour and travel company called GUILD SAFARIS LIMITED, to serve the entire world professionally and diligently. The team leader of the tourism company was Henry Batenda, an author and a lecturer in Tourism and hospitality management at Kampala International University.
