Africa, from a local perspective

We build journeys through Rwanda and East Africa the way we would plan them for family: honest routes, unhurried days, and guides who know the difference a good one makes.

That means telling you when a five-day itinerary should really be seven, which lodge is worth the extra money and which is not, and why the permit you want for August needs booking in February. Nothing is templated — every journey on this site started as somebody's specific idea.

Stories from our travellers

★★★★★
Everything was organised before we even landed. Our guide found the gorillas in under two hours and then gave us the best hour of our lives.
Sarah & MichaelUnited Kingdom · Gorilla Trekking Escape
★★★★★
They talked us out of the itinerary we asked for and into a better one. That honesty is why we have already booked again for next year.
Anja MeyerGermany · The Rwanda Explorer
★★★★★
Our flight was delayed by nine hours and they rebuilt the whole first day overnight. We never felt like we had lost anything.
