The Foundation

A Vision Rooted in Nature

Founded in 2020, Orucuba Gardens was brought to life by Tooro Richard—a visionary and the founder of Kabarole Tours Ltd—with a mission to create a place where comfort, culture, and nature unite effortlessly.

Driven by his deep love for Uganda and a storyteller’s heart, Richard designed Orucuba not just as a welcoming retreat, but as a vibrant base for tourists to explore the heart of the Pearl of Africa. Whether you're relaxing at the gardens or venturing out on a guided tour, his desire is simple: to give every guest the best care, authentic experiences, and stories they'll carry for life.

With roots in the tourism world through Kabarole Tours Ltd, Richard brings a rare mix of hospitality and narration where every corner of Orucuba tells a story, and every stay becomes part of Uganda’s unfolding adventure.
