Home/About us
Africa, from a local perspective
Land Tours & Travel is a Rwandan company. We are based in Kigali, our guides are Rwandan and Kenyan, and the journeys we sell are the ones we would take ourselves.
How we work
We started by driving guests around Rwanda in a single vehicle. Ten years later we run journeys across four countries, and the way we plan them has not changed: a conversation first, a written itinerary second, and a price with nothing hidden underneath it.
We do not resell packages. Every itinerary is put together for the people travelling on it, which is why our first reply is usually a question rather than a quote.
If your plan will not work — too many hours in a car, the wrong month for the migration, a lodge that photographs better than it sleeps — we say so before you pay, not after.
Who you travel with
Every journey is run by our own guides — people who grew up beside these parks, know the rangers by name, and can tell you which trail dries out first after rain.
You are met at the airport by someone from our team and handed over to the same person for the length of your trip. No subcontracting, no stranger with a clipboard.
Why travel with us
Local knowledge, not a call centre
The person who writes your itinerary is in Kigali and has driven the route. When something changes on the ground — a road, a permit, a lodge under new management — we know before it reaches your trip.
Money that stays here
Our guides, drivers, porters and most of our suppliers are local businesses. Park fees fund the conservation that makes these journeys possible in the first place.
Honest advice, including the unprofitable kind
Sometimes the right answer is a shorter trip, a cheaper lodge, or a different country. We would rather give it and keep you as a guest for the next twenty years.
Someone answers the phone
Delayed flight at 2am, a change of plan mid-journey, a question about a permit six months out — there is a real number, and a real person on it.
