Uplift Safari Capital

Tourism Powers Africa’s Growth, But Funding Falls Behind.

Tourism is one of Africa’s largest contributors to jobs, conservation, and community development. Yet, despite its importance, the sector remains severely underfunded in the startup ecosystem. Companies driving innovation in tourism struggle to access the capital they need to setup strong foundations and scale.
