1. Africa is our home

We know it from the farthest corners, and that results in amazing trips. We put them together by venturing out there ourselves. Believe us, you won't find these experiences anywhere else!

2. Local experiences

That means you'll visit local people in their villages and communities. Hike with the Masai, cook with your host family in a homestay, and cast a line with traditional fishermen.

3. You decide

So, what are you in the mood for? We'll custom-tailor the entire trip to your wishes. And you can count on us along the way, even in the middle of the night.

4. Travel responsibly

While you enjoy your dream trip, you'll be contributing to the development of local communities, economies, and the environment. That feels good!

Discover Rwanda’s Untamed Nature

Rwanda is known for its endless rolling panoramas and fertile land, where vast rainforests provide a home for gorillas and chimpanzees.

After the horrific 1994 genocide against the Tutsi, Rwanda has transformed into one of Africa’s cleanest, safest, and most well-organised countries. Though small in size, you can explore the entire country in about ten days. Thanks to the short travel distances, you’ll quickly leave the bustling capital, Kigali, behind and immerse yourself in breathtaking nature.

There is plenty to see and do in Rwanda. Track primates like gorillas and chimpanzees in Volcanoes National Park, or head south to Nyungwe Forest and take on the Congo Nile Trail, where you can embark on stunning hikes.

Rwanda is also perfect to combine with neighbouring countries like Kenya and Uganda. Whether you're drawn to the mysterious volcanoes, vibrant culture, or untouched wilderness, Rwanda will surprise you with its beauty and warm hospitality.

Earlier, we shared how you, as a traveller, can help prevent animal suffering. Another crucial aspect of ethical and responsible travel is human rights.
