We are Mwaka and Sylvie, two women united by a deep love for Africa and a combined 25+ years of experience in the luxury tourism industry across Kenya, Rwanda, and beyond. After years of designing and guiding journeys for some of the best-known travel brands, we launched Gorille Africain Tours to bring our own vision to life: tailor-made travel that is seamless, personal, and rooted in purpose.
Based in Rwanda, we specialize in creating exclusive, handcrafted adventures across Rwanda, East and Southern Africa, including South Africa. From gorilla trekking in the misty Volcanoes National Park to helicopter safaris, cultural immersions, and hidden-gem escapes, our journeys blend authenticity, ethical travel, and luxury. We believe travel should be more than beautiful—it should be meaningful.
What sets us apart? Deep local knowledge, trusted in-country partnerships, and a heartfelt commitment to conservation and community. We don’t believe in cookie-cutter trips. Every journey is designed from scratch to reflect your travel style, interests, and pace. Our team includes experienced, bilingual (French and English) travel designers and expert driver-guides who are more than guides—they’re storytellers, naturalists, and cultural ambassadors.
From your first inquiry to your return flight home, we offer fast, transparent, and personalized support. Every detail is handled with care, so you can travel with confidence and ease.
With Gorille Africain Tours, you’ll experience Africa in a way that’s exclusive, immersive, and impactful. Let us create a journey that stays with you forever—crafted with passion, guided by purpose, and designed just for you.
