ABOUT US

There are journeys you take, and then there are journeys that take you, that linger in your bones long after you’ve returned home. At KUMBUKUMBU TOURS, we don’t just arrange travel.

 

We craft memoirs.KUMBUKUMBU TOURS was born in the heart of Kigali, Rwanda, from a simple butpowerful belief: that travel should do more than move you from place to place, it should move something inside you.

 

Our founder, Obed Temba Tuyumvire, built this company on the conviction that Rwanda and East Africa deserve to be experienced not as a checklistof sights, but as a living, breathing story of resilience, warmth, and breathtaking natural beauty.The name "KUMBUKUMBU" means "REMEMBRANCE" or "MEMOIR" in Swahili. It is our promise. Every journey we design, whether it's coming face-to-face with mountain gorillas in the midst of Volcanoes National Park, tracking the Big Five across Akagera's savannah, walking the canopy of Nyungwe's ancient rainforest, or sharing a meal with a village community, is crafted to become a memory your travelers will carry for a lifetime.

 

We are a 100% locally owned and locally operated ground operator. We do not outsource your clients' experiences; we live them alongside them. Our guides are storytellers.

 

Our partners are communities, cooperatives, and conservationists. Our itineraries are woven with cultural integrity, respect for nature, and a deep understanding of Rwanda's past andits extraordinary present.

 

For the guests searching for authenticity, human connection, and transformative moments. Rwanda is one of the safest, cleanest, and most welcoming destinations in Africa. With Kumbukumbu Tours, they won't just visit, they will belong, even if only for a few unforgettable days.
