Let’s introduce the warm souls of our Kenya safaris. The people who welcome you when you land in Nairobi when you are about to embark on your private guided safari.

We have known Richard and Diane for many years now and we both share the passion for travel and off the beaten track small scale low impact tourism.
Richard and his wife Diana have excellent service skills and discover new non touristy destinations all the time, unique accommodations and new experiences. The goal is a holistic Kenyan experience as you balance between culture, wildlife, local hospitality and best culinary arts on the planet. And leave a Green footprint behind. With your Kenyan trip you contribute to reforestation of Kenya by SeedBalls Kenya, the Twala Tenebo female foundation, the Power Women in Kibera and so much more.

At African Travels, we strive to craft a unique experience for you. Thrilled to share a glimpse into this family’s adventure in Rwanda, thanks to some stunning photos we were fortunate to receive! They embarked on a one-of-a-kind journey filled with local experiences for the kids, unforgettable wildlife encounters, and the immersive beauty of this African destination. Thank you for sharing!

However, we are deeply saddened by the recent developments in the north of Rwanda, bordering Congo. We hope for a swift resolution as tourism represents a vital source of income for many Rwandese. Our thoughts are with those affected during this challenging time.
