The country has great potential for both service and industrial development. Industries that are currently booming are information technology(IT), agro processing, light manufacturing, tourism and energy.

Sharing a daily Life with a local Community. Rwandan hospitality translates to the words: Ikaze, Murisanga, Mugubwe neza.
It is not in standard hotels that you can experience it. You have to live it in humble homestays where a stopover for one or more nights turns into a convivial experience. It is through the unexpected moments that you fully live the immersion in the inhabitant’s home.You can move from one family to another without repetition.
We support local entrepreneurs in promoting the know-how of their territories. Thus, beyond accommodation in local homes, a wide range of cultural activities are designed to highlight local traditions: agriculture, handicrafts, celebrations, etc. The idea is to encourage your participation in local life, meeting farmers, artists, ceramists, jewelers, etc. At the same time, families benefit from the economic spin-offs of the activities.
Our adventures include everything you expect when you imagine Rwanda and East Africa Safari.
Close up encounters with our incredible wildlife. Long drives through our breath taking landscapes and romantic sundowners at remote safari lodges.
We have the privilege of working for some of the worlds best safari companies. So when it came to starting our adventures, we focused on the parts we know our customers truly value.
