Rwanda – RAW Africa EcoTours

Immerse yourself in the beauty of Rwanda

Behold Rwanda's Mountains and Lakes

Few countries in the world can match the natural beauty and diversity of the Republic of Rwanda.

Known as the land of a thousand hills and home to the endangered mountain gorilla, Rwanda is shaking off its troubled past to become one of the most popular tourist destinations in Africa. With its mountainous terrain, Rwanda’s landscape is the ideal environment for gorillas, chimpanzees and other primate species.

We partner with the Jane Goodall Institute Australia (JGIA) to bring you a unique and exciting wildlife safari experience. We’ll visit local communities to learn more about Rwandan culture and go in search of some of the most amazing wildlife you’ll ever encounter.

CONSERVATION

At RAW Africa Eco-Tours, we are serious about supporting local communities and their conservation efforts. By joining us on a Rwanda tour you will be helping conservation by:

A portion of all tour payments to RAW Africa Eco-Tours is passed on to one of the conservation organisations relevant to the places we visit and the people we meet. We support the Jane Goodall Institute Rwanda.

We hire a local guide when we visit Rwanda. This creates employment and provides tourism experience for local communities. We stay in accommodation that is locally owned or is owned by the national park, ensuring that the majority of our tourism $$ stays in the area.

On every RAW Africa Eco-Tours journey, we ask you to do one small thing that will make a difference to wildlife. In Rwanda most of the coffee is grown by small scale farmers. Shade grown coffee reduces threats to wildlife by providing habitat. In Rwanda, RAW Africa Eco-Tours asks you to choose locally grown coffee such as Boneza coffee, so that you can continue to support wildlife and communities every time you take a cup of your favourite brew.

“Kenya, such a variety of wildlife experiences and insight into local culture through the eyes of Jaros, our RAW Africa Eco-tours guide. Amazing. Congo, what a wonderful, underrated tourist destination. Beautiful people, wildlife experiences and community projects. Thanks so much RAW Africa Eco-tours, I couldn’t have had a better time.”

“RAW Africa Eco-tours delivered the travel experience I had hoped for and more. Brooke’s local knowledge of the area, its wildlife, cultures and hidden secrets brought Africa to life. Not only did we experience the unimaginable, we were exposed to real community conservation projects. Thanks for an amazing 3 weeks RAW Africa Eco-tours. I’ve loved every minute of it.”

“Our Raw Africa Eco-tours safari ticked all the boxes, adventure, wildlife, communities, it was everything I hoped it would be plus more. And it’s not fake or artificial, it’s totally RAW!”

“The RAW Africa Eco-tours experience is unique because you will go off the beaten track and see a side of Africa that the mainstream companies won’t show you. RAW Africa Eco-tours took us on a trip that met our needs and interests around community conservation as well as spectacular wildlife.”

“RAW Africa Eco-tours has its heart in the right spot, I got so much out of our safari but RAW Africa Eco-tours makes it easy to give so much back. You’ll look back on your trip and realise I did that! And it makes you want to do it again.”

“This place is amazing. Before I came to Africa, I didn’t know what to expect. It has blown my mind.”

"What a way to escape normality of life of the western world... you need to put this on your bucket list! It was so much better than we imagined it could be. The different savannahs and the big 5 animals of National level to conversation levels, each with their own unique landscapes and history and each one was so exciting. We never imagined we would see giraffes fighting in the wild, or hear lions roaring and protecting their young or cheetahs on the hunt. But what was even more interesting was seeing how the local tribes live and survive in the savannahs among these wild animals! We felt as if we were part of National Geographic! Thanks for the amazing trip of a lifetime."

"Get ready for Kenya – Because once you see a lion in the wild, you can’t go back. The Maasai Mara will make you its own."
