Mr. Obedgiu Francis
Founder
A great safari isn’t about looking at animals through a window. It’s about feeling the heartbeat of the wild alongside someone who has called it home their entire life. As a professional safari guide with a background in Environmental Science, Francis built the company from the ground up. His deep-rooted expertise in habitat dynamics and upscale hospitality ensures that every itinerary maximizes wildlife viewing while maintaining a light ecological footprint.
Founded in January 2017 by Mr. Obedgiu Francis, Angara Tours and Travel was born out of a desire to replace rigid, corporate tours with genuine insider access. Raised in Pakwach, at the northern gates of Murchison Falls, Francis spent his childhood tracking elephant herds and reading the rhythms of the Nile.
Today, we are a fully licensed boutique agency (UTB/RTT/TO/2022/100350), but our soul remains intimate. Francis still personally drives our custom 4x4 vehicles, guiding travelers away from crowded tour buses and straight into raw, unvarnished wilderness. Whether navigating hidden savanna trails or securing exclusive Bwindi gorilla permits, our local footprint transforms a standard holiday into a lifelong connection.
With Angara, you aren’t buying a generic itinerary. You are stepping into Francis’s world—and we can’t wait to welcome you home.
