About us

Learn about Rwa Trek Adventure Safaris: our Kigali-based team, licensed credentials, conservation pledge, and private safari philosophy.

Rwa Trek Adventure Safaris Ltd is a fully licensed Rwandan tour operator and passenger transport company based in Kigali. We were founded on a simple conviction: the greatest safari experiences happen when you travel with passionate local guides who call these hills home.

Rooted in Rwanda

We are registered with the Office of the Registrar General (TIN: 155431569) and fully accredited by the Rwanda Development Board (RDB) for tourism services and passenger road transport. Our office is located in the diplomatic district of Kacyiru, Kigali.

Unlike booking engines or foreign agencies operating out of London or Nairobi, our team is on the ground every day. When weather conditions change, when a trail bridge needs care, or when a last-minute permit opens up, our direct relationships with park wardens and lodge managers allow us to adapt instantly.

Our mission is to share Rwanda’s wildlife treasures while supporting the communities that protect them.

Our Core Principles

100% Private Expeditions

No shared buses or strangers in your vehicle. Every safari is private to your family or travel group, customized to your pace, interests, and photography style.

Direct Permit Procurement

We purchase official mountain gorilla ($1,500) and chimpanzee ($150) permits directly from the Rwanda Development Board with complete price transparency and zero hidden markups.

Community Conservation

We partner with local porter cooperatives, village craft associations, and agricultural projects around the parks so tourism dollars directly benefit Rwandan families.

Meet Our Guiding Team

Our driver-guides are certified by the Rwanda Safari Guides Association. Fluent in English, French, Kinyarwanda, and Swahili, they bring decades of tracking expertise, wildlife biology knowledge, and safe highway driving across Rwanda’s mountainous terrain.
