Our story

Born in the hills of Musanze

We started as two guides with one Land Cruiser and a love for showing visitors the Rwanda we grew up in. Today our small team plans gorilla treks, game drives and cultural days across the country — still with the same idea: small groups, local guides who know every trail, and trips that give back to the communities around the parks.

“Tracking gorillas with this team was the highlight of our trip to Rwanda. Our guide knew exactly where to find them and made us feel completely safe.”

“Small group, no rushing, and a guide who clearly loves what he does. Saw more wildlife in one game drive than a full week elsewhere.”

D

David K.

“Booking was effortless and the WhatsApp updates before pickup were a nice touch. Would book again in a heartbeat.”
