Our story is one of fate, inspiration and hope.

How it all began & why we do what we do

Thirteen years ago, I left Sydney, Australia, for a gorilla trek in Rwanda — chasing adventure beyond the usual beach holiday. What I found instead was a country and a continent that captured my heart. I gave up my corporate career, moved to Kigali, and never looked back. Rwanda remains one of the most inspiring nations on earth, and it's been the foundation of everything since. 

Today, African Unique Safaris and Tours is one of Rwanda's most respected and modern DMCs, with over 500 direct supplier relationships across sub-Saharan Africa. That means we can plan and book your entire journey — anywhere on the continent — with the local expertise, convenience, and trust you deserve. 

But it's bigger than travel. Every journey with us supports conservation and community development, driving toward our vision: 1,000 new financially independent families by 2035. 

Come feel the wonder of Rwanda and sub-Saharan Africa — and be part of the story while you're at it.
