I was born and raised near Rwanda’s renowned Volcanoes National Park, home to the endangered mountain gorillas. Having spent my entire life in this region, I have developed an intimate knowledge of Rwanda and Uganda, their landscapes, wildlife, cultures, and hidden treasures. It is my passion to share these remarkable destinations with visitors from around the world. I am a dedicated wildlife and ecotourism professional with extensive experience as a tour guide, safari driver, and hospitality manager. In addition to managing my own bed and breakfast, I provide personalized safari experiences using well-maintained 4x4 Toyota Land Cruiser safari vehicles with pop-up roofs, as well as luxury SUVs for private tours. Over the years, I have traveled extensively throughout Rwanda, Uganda, and East Africa, gaining first-hand knowledge of the region’s most iconic attractions as well as many lesser-known gems. My experience, local expertise, and strong network of tourism partners allow me to create seamless and unforgettable travel experiences for my guests. I can assist with all aspects of travel planning, including accommodation reservations, gorilla trekking permits in Rwanda and Uganda, golden monkey tracking, chimpanzee trekking, wildlife safaris, hiking adventures, cultural experiences, airport transfers, and customized itineraries tailored to individual interests. Working with travelers from diverse cultural backgrounds has given me exceptional interpersonal and communication skills. I pride myself on building strong relationships with my guests and ensuring they feel welcomed, comfortable, and well-informed throughout their journey. I am fluent in Kinyarwanda and English, speak conversational Swahili, and have a basic knowledge of French. As a guide, I am known for my professionalism, reliability, punctuality, and commitment to delivering outstanding service. My goal is to provide every guest with a safe, authentic, and memorable African safari experience. My passion for travel extends beyond my work. I have visited numerous African destinations, both as a tour guide and as a traveler, including the Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, Burundi, Uganda, Tanzania, Zanzibar, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and the Seychelles. These experiences have broadened my understanding of different cultures, environments, and tourism practices across the continent, allowing me to bring a wider perspective to the experiences I offer my guests.

Overview of your Ruhengeri tour

Come and join one of the most adventurous and most spectacular activities around Volcanoes National Park! Mount Bisoke stands at an altitude of 3711m above sea level. It is the third highest Volcano in Rwanda and it's hike takes approx. 6hs. What's unique about this activity is the view of the Crater Lake, which has a diameter of 400 meters. You will also have the chance to see the Golden Monkeys. If you like primates, the Golden Monkey trekking is for you! Meet face to face with these rare, beautiful but endangered primates. Once you find the monkeys, you will spend one magical hour with them. I started offering this tour to my clients because you will explore nature, wildlife and local communities. It will provide you with a full picture of our country. What I love most about this experience is Bisoke hike. You will see it's the most challenge activity but when you do make it to the top it is really amazing and big achievement in your life. You also have 1% to encounter Mountain Gorillas.
