About Us

Rwanda, from people who call it home

Epic Rwanda Safaris is a Kigali-based tour company creating private, tailor-made journeys through Rwanda, the land of a thousand hills. We are Rwandan, we live here, and we know this country through every season, road and trail. We started Epic Rwanda Safaris to share it the way we see it: thoughtfully, personally, and with care for the people and wildlife that make it extraordinary.

Why travel with us

Travel the way Rwandans travel their own country

Private journeys only

Your guide and vehicle are yours for the whole trip. You never join a group of strangers, and your days move at your pace.

Local guides who know the ground

Our English-speaking driver-guides are Rwandan, experienced and proud of their country. They know the parks, the roads, the seasons and the stories, and they stay with you from arrival to departure.

Permits handled for you

Gorilla and chimpanzee permits are limited and sell out in busy months. We secure them through the Rwanda Development Board as soon as you confirm, and tell you straight away if your dates are tight.

Honest, clear prices

Every quotation lists exactly what is included, from permits to park fees, so there are no surprises when you arrive.

Here when you need us

You have a direct WhatsApp line to our team before and during your trip, and we reply to every enquiry within 24 hours.

Our team

The people who plan your journey

Our promise

Travel that gives back

Rwanda’s gorillas are one of conservation’s great success stories, and every gorilla permit helps fund the parks and the communities around them. We work with local lodges, guides, porters and community projects, so the money you spend stays in Rwanda and supports the people who protect its wild places.

Local

Based in Kigali

Epic Rwanda Safaris is a Rwandan company run by a local team, with our office at Norrsken House in Kigali. You can reach us by email at epicrwandasafaris@gmail.com or on WhatsApp.

Looking ahead

Rwanda today, East Africa tomorrow

Rwanda is our home and our focus. As we grow, we will bring the same care to journeys in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, so you can pair your gorilla trek with the Masai Mara, the Serengeti or Uganda’s forests.
