Why Are We Called Cycads Safaris?
Our name is inspired by the cycads, an ancient group of seed plants known for their distinctive crown of large compound leaves and stout trunks. These remarkable plants are a threatened species, endemic to tropical and subtropical regions. In Uganda, several species of cycads have been identified, including:
- E. equatorialis – from the south near Jinja
- E. whitelockii – from Western Uganda
- E. septentrionalis – northern UgandaE. macrostrobilus – northern Uganda near the Sudan border
Just as cycads endure through centuries, our commitment is to preserve and showcase Africa’s natural and cultural treasures
